Turn your facts into clear claim documents.

Personal-statement guidance informed by BVA research.

We use our research into Board of Veterans’ Appeals decisions to inform how Scribe helps you prepare a personal statement. Guided questions help you describe your condition, when symptoms began and how they affect your life. The process centers on your experience. Your answers provide the details for a draft you can review and edit. For knee pain, the questions can focus on movement and time on your feet. For headaches, they can focus on frequency, duration and interruptions to your day. You supply the facts; Scribe helps you put them in order.

Guidance for the document in front of you.

56 sets of condition prompts. The guided personal-statement intake includes prompts for different conditions and claim concerns, so you can describe the details that apply to you. Your own facts, reviewed first. Confirm the information you want used in the draft. Review the wording and any details that still need your attention. More than personal statements. Prepare witness statements, work-impact statements, stressor accounts and supporting remarks for reviews or appeals. Choose the document type or describe what you need.

Start with what you need to write.

Explain your experience. Write about when symptoms began, how they affect daily life or what makes work difficult. Prepare a personal statement, stressor account or work-impact statement. Help a witness put their observations into words. Draft a buddy statement from what someone personally saw or heard. The person making the statement reviews it to make sure it reflects their own account. Prepare supporting statements for a review or appeal. Organize the facts and points you want addressed in a Supplemental Claim, Higher-Level Review or Board Appeal. Scribe helps draft the supporting statement; you complete and submit the required forms separately.

You don't need a polished first draft.

Get help specific to your claim. Work through questions about the condition or document you’re writing about. Add your own timeline, examples and details as you go.
