Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI guarantee I'll get a higher disability rating?

No, and we do not make any promises about specific outcomes. AI tools help you present the strongest possible case by ensuring your documentation is complete, well-organized, and effective. The final rating decision still depends on the specifics of your condition and service record.

Is using AI for VA claims legal and ethical?

Yes. Using AI as a tool to help organize information, research, and draft documents is completely legal and ethical. The key is that you're using AI to help present accurate information more effectively, not to fabricate evidence. You should always verify all information and ensure everything submitted is truthful.

Do I still need medical evidence if I use AI tools?

Absolutely. AI cannot replace actual medical evidence, which remains the foundation of any successful claim. What AI can do is help you identify what medical evidence is most relevant, how to present it effectively, and ensure you don't overlook important connections between your conditions and service.

What AI tools do you recommend for veterans?

We recommend several types of AI tools, including large language models like ChatGPT for drafting documents and research, specialized medical AI tools for analyzing medical records, and document organization tools. Our resources section provides specific recommendations and guides for using each type of tool effectively.

How can AI help with appeals if my claim was denied?

AI can analyze your denial letter to identify the specific reasons for denial, help research similar successful appeals, identify what additional evidence might strengthen your case, and assist in drafting appeal documents that directly address the reasons for denial with compelling arguments and evidence.
