VetLink Claims Specialist reviewing a veteran's VA claim file
SOMEONE IN YOUR CORNER

A real human, ready when you call.

The VetLink program comes with a dedicated Claims Team — Claims Specialists, customer service, and support staff who know your file and answer when you reach out. Your program support comes from real people. We explain how to reach your team and how support works before you get started.

  • Direct line to our Claims Team — not a call center
  • Plain-language guidance at every step
  • Calm, prepared guidance before C&P exams
  • Honest answers, even when they're hard to hear

Individual results are determined by the VA.

WHICH ONE IS FOR YOU

Find your situation. Start there.

Claim Readiness Review

Talk through your file with a Claims Specialist who explains the questions and preparation steps with you, rather than leaving you with an unexplained checklist.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You want a second set of eyes — fast
  • You're not sure your file is actually ready
  • You want someone to explain the next steps with you

First-Time Filing

Start with a team beside you. We help you understand your records, prepare your statements, and work through the process from the beginning.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You've never filed a VA disability claim before
  • You're unsure which conditions to include
  • You want support from the beginning

  • Your current rating no longer reflects daily life
  • You're unsure whether to file for an increase

  • You want their observations to be clear and accurate

  • You have new and relevant evidence to submit
  • You're filing a supplemental claim
  • You want help understanding what a supplemental claim involves
