How It Works
Helping You Build a Stronger VA Claim—Step by Step
Successful VA claims typically require three key components:
- A current diagnosis
- An in-service event, illness, or injury
- A medical nexus linking the two
If any one of these pieces is missing, your claim could be denied. That's where Benefits for Bravery comes in. We help you identify what's missing and connect you with the resources and licensed medical professionals needed to complete the puzzle—whether you're filing an initial claim, appealing a denial, or seeking an increase.
Case Review with CEO
Once you're a client, we start with a one-on-one case review with our CEO, a VA claim expert with years of experience. This is where we take a deep dive into your unique situation, assess the strength of your claim, and determine exactly what's needed to move forward. You'll also be set up with secure portal access, giving you a private place to share documents, track progress, and communicate directly with the CEO through messaging. By the end of this step, you'll walk away with both a clear, personalized action plan and the tools to stay connected and organized every step of the way.
Connect with Licensed Medical Providers
We then connect you with licensed medical professionals who can provide the medical documentation the VA needs
- Nexus Letters to help establish service connection
- DBQs (Disability Benefits Questionnaires) to support rating increases
These documents are often the missing link between a denial and an approval—and we make sure you get access to the right providers.
Evidence Gathering & Claim Submission Guide
With your medical evidence in hand, we move into preparing and submitting your claim. You'll receive a detailed, step-by-step guide that covers:
- How to write strong, compelling personal statements
- How to gather effective buddy statements and other supporting evidence (photos, logs, records, etc.)
- Which VA forms to complete
- How to fill them out correctly
- Where and how to submit your claim (online, by mail, or fax)
You'll also have secure portal access to upload your documents for review. The CEO will personally review your submissions, provide feedback, and help ensure your evidence is as strong as possible before you file. This combination of preparation, guidance, and expert review gives you the best possible foundation for success.
C&P Exam Preparation
Your C&P exam is one of the most critical parts of the VA claim process. Going in unprepared, or saying the wrong thing can be the difference between approval and denial. We'll guide you through:
- What to expect during the exam
- How to describe your symptoms and limitations clearly
- What to avoid saying or doing that could hurt your case
