## 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](https://aivaclaims.com/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](https://www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp).
