Veteran Claims Coach: Decoder

Veteran Claims Coach is an independent educational app. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or any government agency, and it does not provide official government services. Always confirm official information at VA.gov.

Veteran Claims Coach helps you understand the VA disability claims process in plain English. Whether you are filing your first claim, preparing for a C&P exam, or trying to make sense of a decision letter, our AI-powered tools explain each step so you can feel informed and prepared.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Decode your VA letter
Scan or upload your VA decision letter and get it explained in plain English: what was granted or denied, what your combined rating means, and what to explore next. Read once, never stored.

Rating Review
See, in general educational terms, where your rating could go up and which secondary conditions may be worth discussing with an accredited representative.

Ask the Coach
An educational AI assistant that answers questions about the claims process, evidence, terminology, and what to expect.

Personal Statement and Buddy Letter help
Guided tools to help you and your supporters put your experience into clear, well-structured statements.

C&P Exam preparation
Learn what to expect at your Compensation and Pension exam, with practice questions and plain-language rating guides.

Symptom Tracker
Log daily symptoms, mood, and patterns over time, then export a clear record to take to an accredited representative or your exam.

IMPORTANT
Veteran Claims Coach is for education only. It does not predict or guarantee any rating or outcome, and it is not legal advice. For decisions about your claim, work with a free accredited Veterans Service Officer (VSO) and verify everything at VA.gov.
