Caregivers

Helping a veteran see evidence categories.

Caregivers can use the same public educational tools as veterans. Nothing is uploaded. This page does not collect medical details or replace a person who can file.

What caregivers can do here

  • Run the 10-question Claim Readiness Assessment with the veteran (or review the result together).
  • Use condition checklists to mark evidence categories the veteran already has.
  • Read plain-language explainers and fictional Mission Briefs.
  • Print or download a summary to take to an accredited representative.

Do not enter medical records, SSNs, or VA file numbers. The public tools name categories from public VA material. A person still decides what to file.

What this page does not do

  • Does not file a claim or estimate a rating.
  • Does not replace an accredited VSO, claims agent, or attorney.
  • Does not collect or store medical information.
  • Is not a crisis line. If the veteran is in crisis, call 988 and press 1, or text 838255.
