This gate will
- Show which checklist items you did not mark.
- Show which items you left unmarked.
- Keep a human in command of every official decision.
For veterans and caregivers
Start with the evidence. Not with a guess.
If you are building or rebuilding a claim, you can answer questions about what you believe you already have. Nothing is uploaded. This is not a filing service, not legal advice, and not a crisis line.
- Who this is for
- Veterans and family members who want to understand evidence categories before they talk with an accredited representative.
- What is available
- A 10-question readiness check, condition checklists, plain-language explainers, and fictional Mission Briefs.
- What this website does
- Names evidence that public VA material commonly discusses, and shows what you marked as present or missing.
- What this website does not do
- Does not file a claim, estimate a rating, diagnose a condition, give legal advice, or replace the Veterans Crisis Line.
Three steps. Then a human files.
01
See what you already have
Pick one condition. Mark the records and statements you actually hold. Nothing is uploaded.
02
See what is typically still missing
The checklist shows categories you did not mark. It does not read your file and it does not predict a VA result.
03
Take the list to a human who can file
Print or download the summary and bring it to an accredited VSO, claims agent, or attorney. VBB does not file the claim.
