A quick note before you dive in
The VA Claims Hub is not the VA. We're an independent, free education resource built by and for
veterans. Nothing here is legal advice, medical advice, or a substitute for help from an accredited
representative.
Use this site to learn how VA disability claims work, what your options are, and what you might be entitled
to. When you're ready to file or appeal, take that knowledge to a
VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO), attorney, or claims agent — they can review
your specific situation, file on your behalf, and (for attorneys and agents) represent you through appeals.
Rates and rules cited on this site are current as of 2026. VA regulations change. When it matters, verify on
VA.gov or with your representative before relying.
