Everything You Need to Win Your Claim
Built from 120+ VA sources and the federal regulations that decide claims — by a veteran who went through the process himself.
The Free Scan
Answer guided questions about your service and health. We map every condition your service and health history may support — including secondaries you may miss.
Secondary Condition Analyzer
Discover hidden connections between your conditions. Our database maps every primary-to-secondary link with medical rationale.
VA Math Calculator
Calculate your combined rating using real VA math — not simple addition. See the financial impact of each condition over 10 years.
Presumptive Condition Check
Your service era cross-checked against PACT Act and other presumptive lists — see where the service-connection burden may already be carried for you.
My Claims — A-to-Z Checklist
Your personalized step-by-step roadmap from Intent to File through final decision. Never miss a critical step.
Key Dates & Deadlines
Enter dates as they happen and the deadlines veterans lose money on get tracked automatically — countdowns on every page, one-tap calendar export.
Condition Battle Plans
Every condition gets its own step-by-step evidence plan: what to gather, in what order, with the rating criteria and pitfalls spelled out.
Statement Builder
Turn your story into VA-format personal and buddy statements. For a buddy letter, text your spouse, parent, or battle buddy a link — they answer five questions on their own phone, print, and sign. No account, nothing to install, nothing for you to chase.
Nexus Letters & DBQs
Teach your doctor exactly what your nexus letter or DBQ must say — or skip the fight: we list vetted third-party providers who do this all day.
VA.gov Filing Walkthrough
The actual filing flow, click by click — every screen from sign-in to submit, plus the five traps that quietly cost veterans months.
C&P Exam Prep
Know exactly what examiners look for. Condition-specific prep guides, common questions, and red flags to watch for.
Decision Letter Decoder
Paste your decision letter and it reads the ratings, the denials, and why — then builds your claim map and picks your review lane automatically.
TDIU Walkthrough
The 100% rate without a 100% rating: if service-connected conditions keep you from steady work, two questions map your numbers against TDIU’s thresholds — with the forms and honest pitfalls ready.
How It Works
Like TurboTax for VA claims. One step at a time, no overwhelm.
Based on Official VA Sources
Every piece of data comes from 38 CFR, VA.gov, Board of Veterans Appeals decisions, and peer-reviewed medical literature.
Your Data Never Leaves Your Device
Your answers, conditions, and evidence live only in your browser - never on our servers. We can't share what we never receive.
Built for Accessibility
Full keyboard navigation, adjustable text sizes, dark/light modes, and trauma-sensitive design for veterans with TBI, PTSD, and vision impairment.
I've been where you are. I went the VSO route. I paid the claim sharks over $10,000 of my own money. And I still ended up at the kitchen table, buried in forms and conflicting advice, not sure of my next move. So I spent hundreds of hours in the regulations, the case law, and the VA's own guides, and I built what I actually needed back then: one signal that cuts through all the noise. Nothing falls through the cracks. You always know your next step.
That's why the name is Lima Charlie. We cut out the static so every step comes through loud and clear.
