Sample, from made-up recordsA sample statement
Drafted from the made-up records above. In the app every sentence links to the page it came from.
During my service I snored loudly and woke up tired most days. My roommate said so at the time, and it is in my service records. In 2023 a sleep study at the VA found sleep apnea and I was given a CPAP machine. I use it every night. Without it I fall asleep during the day and cannot drive safely.
What your screens include
What we found
Each condition your records show, with what we found and what is not found yet, in plain words.
The proof
The page in your own records behind every line. Open it, or mark it wrong with one tap.
Your statements
One statement per condition you chose to claim, drafted from your records and your own words.
Your VA forms
Pre-filled for you to check, with the plain name of each form beside its number.
Buddy letter templates
For a spouse or a friend from service, with prompts drawn from your own records.
Claim exam prep
If VA schedules a claim exam, AVA writes a prep guide from your own record. It covers what the exam is, what to bring, and what an examiner may ask.
Secondary conditions
Conditions that often come with the ones you have, found from the links in your own records. You decide whether to claim them.
Conditions VA presumes
Where and when you served, matched against VA's lists of conditions tied to certain service. AVA names the list when your record matches.
Your VA decision, checked
Upload your decision letter with your VA file. AVA lists what VA granted and denied, and shows what your file says that the letter did not cover.
