VA claim resources to share

Practical references for veterans, families, and organizations helping people find their next step.

Start with one useful resource

• Printable claim evidence checklist — organize records, statements, and questions before preparing a claim. Open the guide and print or save it as a PDF.
• Combined disability rating calculator — explore how ratings combine, including eligible bilateral conditions. Estimates are not VA decisions.
• Claims guide library — find guidance for preparing a claim, checking progress, or understanding a decision.

About these resources

AIVA is a program of ESBE Incorporated. Our donor-funded tools help veterans organize records and prepare drafts for their own review and submission. AIVA is a technology platform, not a law firm, medical provider, or VA-accredited claims agent.

Each guide links to official sources and states when its text was updated. General information cannot determine an individual claim's outcome. For representation, use VA's accredited representative directory.

For resource directories and newsletters

You can link directly to the checklist, calculator, or guide that fits your readers. Use the page title as the link text so readers know where it goes. No registration is required to read these public resources.
