Not sure you even qualify or deserve it? Read this first.
Plenty of services now say they're "not claim sharks." Some even mean it. But look closely and the same three things are almost always missing. Here's where we're different — in ways that can't be copied with a slogan.
The only one that's actually free
Not “free consultation.” Not “$1,250 flat.” Free. No fee, no percentage, no bill when your rating goes up — ever. You file your own claim and keep 100%.
The only one that shows every dollar
Our entire budget is public, down to the dollar, on a live ledger. No other option lets you see exactly what your support pays for. Transparency you can audit, not just trust.
The only one that won't inflate your claim
We help you claim what you earned and not a cent more. We refuse to coach you to stretch the truth. The sharks can't say that — inflation is how they justify their fee.
You do it yourself. We make it fast, clear, and free.
This is a tool, not a middleman. You stay in control of your claim the whole way — and hand off to an accredited human to file.
Lock your date
File an Intent to File in minutes. It protects your effective date — and potentially thousands in back pay — before you gather a single document.
Find your conditions
Upload your DD-214 and we map presumptive, secondary, and service-connected conditions worth discussing. You add anything you know about yourself.
Tell your story
A guided interview turns your own words — onset, severity, daily impact — into personal statements you review, edit, and sign.
Walk in ready
Get a clean package and buddy-letter templates, then we route you to a free accredited VSO near you to file. Prefer to file yourself? We'll show you how, step by step.
The claim sharks charge up to $20,000. We charge nothing.
Under federal law, only accredited representatives can charge to prepare a claim — and even they can't charge for an initial one. The sharpest operators know the fees look bad, so they say they're different — then charge $1,250 and keep their books closed. We just don't charge, and we show you everything.

The tool runs on veterans helping veterans.
When the month's budget is spent, the tool pauses until donations reopen it. Your gift is the difference between a veteran starting today or waiting.
We can't advertise our way out of the claim-shark problem. We can out-trust it.
Every donation lands in our 501(c)(3), is credited to the public ledger net of fees, and is spent only on serving veterans — never on marketing your data, never as a funnel to a paid service.
You'll get a receipt with your real impact, and a note when the veterans you funded report their results.
