AI VA Claims Assistant
AI VA Claims Assistant for Veterans
Ask questions about your own VA claim file and get answers with citations. StratForge's VA claims AI indexes every page you upload — service treatment records, decision letters, C&P exams, private treatment notes — so the answers come from your file, not from generic advice.
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.
AI-powered VA claims assistance that reads your file
General VA advice is everywhere. What is hard to get is an answer about your claim — the date a symptom first appeared in your records, whether a condition was ever formally diagnosed, or what the rating decision actually said about secondary service connection.
StratForge solves that by indexing your documents into searchable pages. When you ask a question, the assistant pulls the relevant passages and answers with the document name and page number so you can verify it yourself in seconds.
- Conversational search across every uploaded document
- Answers cite document name and page number
- Automatic extraction of diagnoses, medications, and medical events
- Specialized mode for questions about the M21-1 manual and 38 CFR Part 4
- Voice input and read-aloud for veterans who prefer to talk it through
Organize your VA claim evidence first
The assistant is only as good as what it can see. Upload documents into the vault by category — decision letters, DBQs, C&P exams, service treatment records, VA and private medical records, imaging, prescriptions — and StratForge processes each one in the background.
As documents index, StratForge builds a medical timeline and pulls out structured details like diagnoses, prescribers, and treatment dates, giving you a chronological view of your care that mirrors how a rater reads a file.
From answers to action
Once your records are searchable, the rest of the workflow gets shorter. Use the evidence review to see which claimed conditions are thin on documentation, the decision letter tool to understand a prior denial, and the statement builder to write a lay statement that references what your records already show.
Ask a question, get a citation
Every answer links back to the page it came from, so you can print or reference that page when you submit evidence.
Track what you still need
The claim tracker keeps claims, tasks, and reminders in one place so nothing sits waiting on a document you forgot to request.
Honest limits
StratForge is educational and organizational software. It does not guarantee VA disability ratings, claim approvals, back pay, or any benefit, and AI answers can be incomplete or wrong. Always verify against the underlying record, and consider working with a VA-accredited representative for anything involving strategy or appeals.
Frequently asked questions
What does an AI VA claims assistant actually do?
It reads the documents you upload, indexes them page by page, and answers questions about them. Ask 'when was my knee first documented?' or 'which conditions were denied in 2019?' and it returns an answer with the source page, instead of making you scroll a 400-page PDF.
Can AI help me prepare a VA disability claim?
Yes, for the preparation side: organizing evidence, spotting gaps, understanding prior decisions, and drafting statements. It cannot file the claim, represent you, or promise an outcome. Review everything it produces before you submit anything to the VA.
Do I have to upload my whole C-File?
No. You can start with one decision letter or a handful of medical records. The more of your file you add, the more complete the assistant's answers and timeline become.
What file types can I upload?
PDF, JPG, and PNG. Large scanned C-Files are supported and are processed page by page so search results can cite a specific page number.
Is this a substitute for a VSO or accredited representative?
No. StratForge is software for organizing and understanding your own records. It is not a law firm, VSO, or VA-accredited representative, and it does not provide legal advice.
