My Service Profile

This is completely optional — you never need it to use the calculators. Every tool works on its own, and you can type your details straight into any of them. Filling this in once just saves you from re-entering the same service details on every calculator and helps tailor your results. It's saved only in your browser, so it's still here when you come back, and you can clear it in one click anytime.

Not required — just a convenience.

You don't need this profile (or an account) to use any calculator on the site — every tool lets you enter your details by hand. Saving them here simply means you won't have to retype the same information on each one, and your results come out more tailored to your service. Everything is stored only on this device, nothing is sent to us unless you check the box asking for a free review, and you can clear it anytime.

Only needed if you'd like us to reach you for a free review.

Free claim review

Every dollar or rating figure is an estimate that depends on your situation and the VA’s decision — always confirm with VA.gov. This is general information from a VA-accredited claims agent (#45147), not legal or medical advice, and we are not the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

In Crisis Right Now?

You don't have to face this alone. Help is available right now, 24/7.

Talk to a VA-Accredited Claims Agent

We focus on veterans the VA has already denied or under-rated. We do not take brand-new (initial) claims, and we do not take every case. Fees, straight up: 20% of past-due benefits recovered. Recovery only — never hourly. Nothing on first-time claims. An accredited agent personally reviews every request — we'll reach out within 48 hours.

Both of these are free. The only difference is where you are in the process. If you have questions — about a denial, a rating, an effective date, your options — use the first path. We look at your situation, tell you honestly what we see, and you decide what happens next. No forms, no signatures, no commitment. If you have already decided you want us working your claim, use the second path. You complete our registration form and sign VA Form 21-22a so we can get to work. Either way, you pay nothing to start.

Free Consultation

Free. You have questions — we answer them. Nothing to sign.

This is for veterans who have questions and want answers before anything else happens. Ask us about your denial, your rating, your effective date, or your options — we look at your situation and tell you honestly what we see. There are no forms, no signatures, and no commitment. You are not hiring anyone by asking.

Register With Us

Also free. You have decided you want us on your case.

This is for veterans who have already decided they want us working their claim. You complete our registration form and sign VA Form 21-22a, the power of attorney that appoints us as your accredited representative. Until that 21-22a is signed we cannot accept your claim, access your VA file, or perform any work on your case — that is federal law, not our policy. Registering itself costs you nothing.
