The Claim Readiness Check
Eight quick questions to see how well you understand the VA claim process before you file, and where to get free, accredited help. This is an educational tool, not legal or medical advice, and it does not predict a rating or an outcome.
How It Works
Eight questions, about five minutes, no login. You get a plain-language read on where you stand and a free next step.
This is a learning tool, not an eligibility test. It will not tell you what rating or back pay you will get, because no honest source can. It will show you which parts of the process you already have a handle on and which are worth a closer look, then point you to the right free next step.
Takes about 5 minutes. No records or personal details required to answer.
FWD Assist HQ provides general educational information about the VA disability claim process. It is not legal, medical, or claims advice, and using this tool does not create any representation relationship. We do not guarantee any rating, decision, back pay, or outcome, those rest with the VA. For help with your specific claim, work with a VA-accredited representative.
