VA Disability Evidence Review
Organize Your VA Claim Evidence
Filing before your evidence is ready is the most common avoidable mistake in the VA process. StratForge reviews the records you have uploaded, condition by condition, and shows you what is documented, what is thin, and what is missing entirely.
Free plan available. StratForge is an independent software platform — not a law firm, VSO, VA-accredited representative, or part of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A secure vault first, a review second
Upload decision letters, DBQs, C&P exam reports, service treatment records, VA and private medical records, imaging, and prescriptions. Files are stored in encrypted, access-controlled storage visible only to your account, and each page is indexed so it can be searched and cited.
As documents process, StratForge extracts diagnoses, medications, providers, and medical events, and assembles a chronological medical timeline — the same view a rater builds by hand.
- Drag-and-drop upload for PDF, JPG, and PNG
- Category tagging, search, and filtering across your whole file
- Automatic page-level indexing with citations
- Medical timeline generated from your own records
The readiness review
Pick a condition and StratForge runs it against a structured set of readiness checks covering diagnosis, in-service evidence, continuity of symptoms, nexus, current severity, and lay evidence. Each check comes back as supported, partial, or missing, with the records it relied on.
The point is not a score. It is a short, specific to-do list: request this record, ask about this opinion, write this statement.
Spot secondary condition opportunities
The claim strategy tools flag conditions commonly connected to what you are already rated for, with citations back to your records so you can judge whether it applies to you.
Turn gaps into tasks
Send anything missing to the claim tracker with a due date and reminder so requests do not stall for months.
What this is not
This is an organizational and educational review of documents you provide. It is not a legal opinion, a medical opinion, or a prediction of your rating, and it cannot guarantee approval or any increase. AI analysis can miss things — read the underlying records and consider a VA-accredited representative for strategy.
Frequently asked questions
How can I organize evidence for a VA disability claim?
Sort every document by condition and date, then check each claimed condition for three things: a current diagnosis, evidence of an in-service event or exposure, and something connecting them. StratForge categorizes uploads, extracts diagnoses and events, and builds a timeline so those gaps are visible instead of buried.
What is a VA disability evidence review?
It is a structured look at your file to see how well-supported each claimed condition is before you file. StratForge checks your indexed records against a set of readiness categories and reports where documentation is strong, thin, or missing.
What evidence is most often missing?
A nexus opinion, current severity documentation that matches the rating criteria, and lay statements describing functional impact. Many veterans have the diagnosis and the service record but nothing tying them together.
Does the review tell me my likely rating?
No. It shows how complete your evidence looks, not what the VA will decide. No tool can predict a rating, and any service claiming to is not being straight with you.
Can I review evidence for more than one condition?
Yes. Run the review per condition, since each one stands on its own evidence, and use the claim tracker to keep the outstanding tasks for each condition separate.
