AI Claim Strength Analyzer
Describe your condition in your own words. The AI maps it to diagnostic codes, tells you what rating criteria you match, identifies evidence gaps, and flags secondary conditions you may be missing.
Tell me about your condition and military service. I'll analyze the diagnostic codes, rating criteria, evidence gaps, and secondary conditions.
How The Claim Analyzer Reads Your Case
This is not a chatbot that gives you generic answers. It is trained on the same body of law an accredited agent uses every day, Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (38 CFR Part 4), and the M21-1 Adjudication Procedures Manual. When you describe your condition, it runs your words through four passes.
Maps To Diagnostic Codes
It identifies the exact 38 CFR Part 4 diagnostic code (DC) that governs your condition, DC 6260 for tinnitus, DC 9411 for PTSD, DC 5257 for knee instability, so you know precisely which rule your claim lives under.
Matches Rating Criteria
Each DC has percentage tiers with specific medical thresholds. The AI compares your described symptoms against those thresholds and tells you which rating level your evidence currently supports.
Finds Evidence Gaps
It flags what is missing, the nexus letter, the range-of-motion measurements, the frequency-and-duration log, the exact documentation the rater needs but that most claims never include.
Spots Secondary Claims
It surfaces conditions caused or aggravated by your service-connected disability under 38 CFR 3.310, the sleep apnea behind the PTSD, the depression behind the chronic pain, that veterans routinely leave on the table.
Every Winning Claim Proves Three Things
Service connection is not a feeling, it is a legal test. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims laid it out in Caluza v. Brown and Shedden v. Principi: to win, the record must establish all three elements below. The Analyzer checks your description against each one and tells you which leg of the stool is weak.
1. A Current Diagnosis
You must have a present, medically diagnosed disability. "My back hurts" is a symptom; "degenerative disc disease at L4-L5" is a diagnosis. Without a current diagnosis in the record, there is nothing to rate, and this is the single most common reason strong claims get denied.
2. An In-Service Event
Something in service must have caused or aggravated it, an injury, an illness, an exposure, or the cumulative grind of your duties. This can be proven with service treatment records, a buddy statement, deployment records, or a presumptive category like burn-pit or Agent Orange exposure.
3. A Medical Nexus
A medical opinion must link the in-service event to the current diagnosis, the "at least as likely as not" bridge. This is the leg most claims are missing. A nexus letter from a doctor stating the connection, with rationale, is often what turns a denial into an award.
The Evidence Gaps That Sink Claims
Most denials are not about whether you are hurt. They are about what is missing from the file. These are the gaps I see over and over, and every one of them can be fixed before you file. Your part is to read each one, check your own records for it, and fill the gap now instead of waiting for the VA to deny you over it.
Secondary Conditions You May Be Missing
Under 38 CFR 3.310, any condition caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability is itself compensable. These are the connections veterans most often overlook:
Each secondary is a separate rating that stacks into your combined evaluation under 38 CFR 4.25, which is how veterans climb from 40% to 70% and beyond.
