What is AIVA's mission?
To provide VA disability claim-preparation support so veterans can access the benefits they earned, funded through tax-deductible charitable donations. AIVA's tools read a veteran's medical records, surface potentially claimable conditions, and prepare draft injury statements, buddy letters, nexus letters, and a claim package. The veteran reviews, edits, and submits every document to the VA themselves.
How is AIVA funded?
Charitable donations fund the program. Veterans pay no fees for claim-preparation support, and AIVA takes no percentage of back pay. The full pricing statement is published in plain text at /pricing.md.
Who founded AIVA?
Barklee Sanders founded AIVA Claims. AIVA provides technology tools for veterans preparing their VA disability claim documents.
Is AIVA a law firm or VA-accredited representative?
No. AIVA is a technology program that provides AI-powered document-preparation tools. It is not a law firm, a medical provider, or a VA-accredited claims agent, and it does not represent veterans before the VA. Every document AIVA prepares is a draft for the veteran's own review and submission. For formal representation, search the VA Office of General Counsel accreditation list.
