This gate will
- Help you see which evidence typically matters for a condition.
- Show gaps before they become another round of development.
- 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, the first job is to know what evidence you hold — and what is still missing. The Evidence Gate is a first-pass readiness check. It is not a filing service, not legal advice, and not a 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 gate compares your marks to a public evidence pack. Gaps show up before they become another development cycle.
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.
Helpful to have nearby — not required to start
- The condition you want to check first
- Discharge or service information if you already have it
- Medical records or exam reports you already hold
- Names of an accredited VSO or representative, if you have one
This gate will not
- File a VA claim for you.
- Guarantee a rating, award, or timeline.
- Replace an accredited VSO, claims agent, or attorney.
- Act as a crisis line. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, then press 1.
