Accepted Answer

Yes. Our platform is especially helpful for appeals and supplemental claims. We provide tools to help you strengthen your case and address reasons for previous denials.

Accepted Answer

No. We do not guarantee outcomes or approvals. The VA makes all final decisions. Our goal is to help you submit the strongest possible claim.

No. You must file your claim through VA.gov, a VSO, or another official channel. We help you prepare and organize your documentation.

Typical evidence includes service treatment records, private medical records, lay statements, buddy letters, and any documentation supporting your condition. Our platform provides checklists and tools to help you gather and organize evidence.

Question 12

Can I upload and store documents on VA Disability Pro?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can securely upload, organize, and manage your claim-related documents. All files are encrypted and only accessible to you.

Question 13

How do I know if my evidence is strong enough?

Accepted Answer

Our Claim Readiness Check and AI-powered review tools can help you assess the completeness and strength of your evidence, but final decisions are made by the VA.

Question 14

Can I export my documents to share with a VSO or attorney?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For each claim you can generate a submission-ready package (your filled VA Form 21-526EZ together with the evidence you've linked to that claim) to download and share with your chosen representative or caregiver. You can also download a full account-wide export of your data from the Profile page at any time.

Processing times vary significantly based on claim type, evidence quality, and current VA workload. Our platform helps you track your progress and set realistic expectations.

After submission, the VA reviews your evidence, may request additional information, and schedules exams if needed. You can use our tools to track each step and prepare for C&P exams.

Question 17

What if my claim is denied?

Accepted Answer

You can appeal or file a supplemental claim. Our platform provides resources and tools to help you understand your options and strengthen your case for appeal.

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with strict access controls, least-privilege handling, and regular security reviews. See our Privacy Policy for the details.

Question 20

Do you sell or share my data?

Accepted Answer

No. We never sell your data. We only share information with your explicit consent, such as when you export documents to a VSO or caregiver.

Question 21

Can I delete my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request account deletion at any time. All your data will be permanently removed from our systems in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Question 22

Are you HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. We are a direct-to-consumer software service, not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, so HIPAA does not govern the information you share with us. Instead of overstating our legal status, we protect your health-related information with strong safeguards (encryption in transit and at rest, and strict access controls) and we are subject to the Federal Trade Commission Act and the FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule (16 CFR Part 318). See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Question 23

What if I need help using the platform?

Email our support team at support@vadisabilitypro.com and we'll help you out. This FAQ and the in-app Resources section also cover the most common questions.

Question 24

Is VA Disability Pro accessible for users with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

We strive to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards. If you encounter any barriers, please email us at support@vadisabilitypro.com so we can assist and improve.

Question 25

What devices and browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Our platform works on all modern browsers and is fully responsive for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Question 26

What are your pricing plans?

Accepted Answer

Two plans: Free, and Standard at $39/month or $349/year (the annual plan saves you $119 a year). Both give individual veterans the full toolkit on the annual or monthly option that fits you. See the Pricing page for the current details.

Question 27

Can I cancel or switch plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel anytime or switch between monthly and annual from your account settings, with no long-term contract. When you cancel, you keep paid access through the end of your current billing period.

Question 28

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans are charged immediately when you subscribe (there's no free trial), then renew automatically (monthly plans every 30 days, annual plans once a year) until you cancel. Stripe processes payment; we never store your card number. If you were charged in error, contact support and we'll make it right.

Question 29

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. All pricing is transparent. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Question 30

Does VA Disability Pro provide legal or medical advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not provide legal, medical, or financial advice. All information is for educational purposes only. Consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Question 31

Do you write nexus letters?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a Nexus Letter Generator, but it's important how it works: it produces a record-cited draft, not a finished nexus opinion. Under 38 CFR §3.159, a nexus letter only counts as competent medical evidence once a qualified clinician who has reviewed your records signs it. So we help you and your doctor produce a strong, well-grounded draft with the right legal citations. We don't, and legally can't, issue the medical opinion ourselves. Take the draft to your treating provider or an accredited independent medical-opinion (IMO) physician to review against your records and decide whether to sign. Don't file an unsigned, AI-generated nexus letter as-is. It can actually hurt your claim. We are an independent technology platform, not an accredited representative.

Question 32

Are there any limitations to what the platform can do?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do not file claims, make decisions, or guarantee outcomes. Our tools are designed to help you prepare and organize, but the VA makes all final determinations.

Question 33

What should I do in an emergency or if I need urgent help?

Accepted Answer

For legal, medical, or financial emergencies, contact a qualified professional or appropriate authority immediately. Our platform is not intended for emergency use.
