VA average disability-related claim completion, July 2026.
Proof
Proof before slogans. Pilots before invented ROI.
This is the public proof surface: educational readiness in production today, and reserved slots for independently defensible pilot outcomes. We will not fill this page with fictional case studies.
Mission conditions
VA-reported context — not VBB results
200%
increase
Growth over ten years in original claims with eight or more medical issues.
2×
volume
Individual disabilities claimed have doubled in five years.
63%
pending
Share of pending claims that are supplemental claims.
Figures as reported by VA, July 2026. These are not VBB results.
Operating measures
These are the measures a bounded pilot is designed to prove. They are not filled with invented company numbers.
Evidence First-Pass Yield™
Not measured
This website does not calculate or publish a yield.
Gaps named pre-submission
Not measured
The public Heat Map names gaps from answers. It does not read a claims file.
Human override rate
Not measured
No assisted decision is offered for a person to override on this website.
Traceability
Not measured
The educational result follows from the answers given. Source-file tracing is not offered.
Figures marked as VA-reported or as planning models are not VetBattleBuddy operating results. Pilot outcomes are published only when independently defensible.
Pilot outcomes
Reserved until a bounded evaluation can be independently defended.
Reserved
Government pilot
No case study published
No government evaluation result is published.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.
Reserved
VSO network
Intake completeness before representative review
How many files arrive with named gaps versus another round of development. Not a rating predictor.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.
Reserved
Veteran cohort
Educational readiness before filing
Heat Map completion to accredited-representative handoff. Not a VA decision and not a disability percentage.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.
EFPY planning board
Illustrative target bands — not published company results
Replace these bands with pilot measurements when a bounded evaluation is complete. Values are planning placeholders so operators can see the board shape. They are not Evidence First-Pass Yield operating results.

Rework-hours model
Enter your own operating assumptions. This calculator does not publish VetBattleBuddy savings, does not predict a VA decision, and is not a quote.

Figures marked as VA-reported or as planning models are not VetBattleBuddy operating results. Pilot outcomes are published only when independently defensible.
