Get answers about your VA claim, with the sources behind them.
Ask Raven reads your VA letters and records, answers your claim questions with the sources behind them, and helps you prepare for exams, find missing evidence and write your statements.
What you can do in Ask Raven.
Read a VA letter or DBQ. Upload it and learn what VA decided, what it means for you and what evidence to get, with the page each point came from. Prepare for your C&P exam. Go over what the examiner will ask about your condition and how to describe your symptoms. Make an evidence checklist. See the records, statements and exams your condition needs, and which ones you already have. Find what your claim is missing. Compare your evidence with the reasons VA gave and learn what to gather next. Compare your review options. See how a Supplemental Claim, Higher-Level Review and Board appeal differ for your decision. Research your condition. Look up rating rules, secondary and presumptive connections, medical studies and Board decisions. Write your statements. Draft a personal statement, buddy statement, stressor statement or letter to Congress, then edit it and keep it in your Documents.
Answers you can check.
Ask Raven draws on VA law, regulations and manuals, and on Claim Raven's research into more than 1,871,000 Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions. Answers show the sources they rely on, so you can open them and read them yourself. Patterns in past appeals are not predictions for your claim.
