***How to File a VA Claim on the New VA.gov Website in 2020***

This video is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to prepare and file a VA claim on the new VA.gov website.

When starting the VA claim process, you will need to start with an “Intent to File.” An Intent to File protects the earliest possible effective date for any benefits resulting from your VA claim decision. Having an Intent to File allows you one year (12-months) to gather the information you need to complete your VA disability claim application. 

According to VA.gov; “Your intent to file must contain: Enough personal information to identify the Veteran or claimant, the general benefit you are seeking and you or your representative’s signature.” To get started with your Intent to File, there are three options available. Over the internet on the VA’s website, over the phone or in person, and through the mail. To do so through VA new website, you will need to go to VA.gov and click initiate a claim. From there, you will need to complete the personal information page and save to establish your effective date. 

You can call the VA hotline at 1-800-827-1000 and speak to a representative at any time in the process to get up-to-date information on the status of your VA claim.

What Does Service-Connection Mean?

Let’s start with the basics. To receive compensation for your disability, you must prove that your military service either caused or made your disability worse. BE SPECIFIC. What incident was it that caused your disability? An explosion? Training accident? Do you have military records of this? Or can a buddy provide a first-hand witness testimony? All of this needs to be documented!

Should I use a VSO or a local rep to assist with my claim?

We encourage Veterans to check out all their options when deciding how to prepare and file a VA disability claim. You can either file your own VA claim online or you can work with an accredited Veteran Service Officer (VSO) who has power of attorney to act on your behalf.
