VetAid Pro: Free Working Tools for the People Who Work Veterans' VA Claims

If you're a Veterans Service Officer, accredited claims agent, or VA-accredited attorney, everything below is built for your side of the desk — decision intelligence, caseload tools, and roster data. All of it free, all of it cited to primary sources.

The deal, stated plainly: no seat licenses, no accounts, no demo calls — and the caseload tools run entirely in your browser, so VetAid never holds your clients' information. Your caseload is not our product. Incumbent case-management seats run ~$449–$520 per user per year; the intelligence layer shouldn't cost anything.

BVA decision intelligence

Issue-level statistics parsed from the full text of public Board decisions — each issue in a decision is counted separately. Every page shows its raw counts and the exact corpus slice.

Board decision finder

Condition × benefit × outcome × judge × years × AMA/legacy × evidence in the record (private opinion, inadequate exam, nexus…): the matching decisions with va.gov links, the slice's grant/deny/remand split, and a CSV. Free.

Judge outcome statistics

Grant / denial / remand rates for every Veterans Law Judge, with docket mix — set expectations before the hearing.

Outcome rates by condition

What the Board actually does with hearing loss, PTSD, back, TDIU, effective-date and reduction issues — by benefit type too.

What overturns the Board

Court-level reversal intelligence: which Board denial reasoning fails at the CAVC, and the arguments that beat it — dockets from the Court's own published decisions.

What evidence actually wins

Nexus opinions, private DBQs, buddy statements, service records, hearings — how often the Board granted the issue when the record had each one, raw counts shown.

BVA decisions dataset

The citable corpus behind these pages: data dictionary, coverage by year, a free 1,000-decision sample, the API, and how to cite it.

BVA decision archive

Condition-tagged reference decisions with the Board's reasoning and the authorities cited.

Corpus behind these numbers: 1,928,386 Board decisions (4,379,433 issues) dated 1992-03-30 to 2026-07-31. Every archive year 1992–2025 is complete. 2026 is partial: decisions dated through 2026-07-31 are in, and newer ones are added as the Board publishes them. Data build: 2026-10-04. Year-by-year counts and exclusions: dataset coverage.

Caseload tools — 100% in your browser

Local-first by design: what you enter in these two tools stays in your browser's storage, exports to CSV, and is never sent to a VetAid server. Log clients by initials only.

Caseload deadline tracker

ITF expirations, the 1-year decision-review window, Board evidence windows, CAVC's 120 days — every client, sorted by days left, citations shown.

Activity log & workload reports

Log contacts and forms filed; print a clean monthly workload report for the county board or subvention file. VA credits claims to orgs — this is your individual record.

Decision letter reader — runs on our server

Not part of the in-browser promise above: "Read my letter" uploads the document to VetAid's server, where it is read in memory and not stored. Photos, and scanned PDF pages that can't be read locally, are sent to an AI vision model to get the text before identifiers are stripped. Redact a client's letter, or paste only the parts you need, before you upload it.

Decision letter decoder

Deadlines computed from the letter date, the combined-rating math re-checked, and the letter's language decoded. Uploads the letter to our server.

Calculators & code lookup

The math and the tables, shown step by step, for the client meeting.

Combined rating calculator

38 CFR 4.25/4.26 whole-person math with every step shown — the client-meeting version.

Hearing loss rating calculator

Tables VI, VIa and VII from 38 CFR 4.85 in readable HTML, walked from puretone to percentage.

ICD-10 ↔ VA diagnostic code mapper

The crosswalk VA doesn't publish — 38 CFR 4.27 diagnostic codes mapped to ICD-10-CM with per-row provenance.

Regulation reference

Just-in-time 38 CFR — the official text with practice notes, for the mid-appointment "what does the reg actually say" moment.

38 CFR working sections

The ~60 sections claims turn on — ITF, new evidence, duty to assist, presumptions, effective dates, TDIU, Board deadlines — full eCFR text, practice notes, linked calculators.

Rating code pages

Every 38 CFR Part 4 diagnostic code with its criteria, from the eCFR.

Roster & accreditation

Built from VA OGC's official accreditation roster, snapshotted weekly — VA publishes the roster but no statistics or history.

Accredited representative directory

Every accredited attorney, claims agent and VSO rep, matched by state, city and ZIP.

Accreditation statistics

Roster composition, newly-accredited per year, and how long Form 21a accreditation actually takes — VA's own documents, quoted and dated.

Common questions

Why is this free? What's the catch?

VetAid is free for veterans site-wide, and tools for the people representing them follow the same rule. There is no catch to find: no trial clock, no upsell tier, no lead-selling — VetAid never sells contact information or routes anyone to paid services. If a future professional API tier ever exists, these pages stay free.

Does VetAid see my clients' information?

No. The deadline tracker and activity log store everything in your browser's local storage and make no server calls with your data. VetAid has nothing to breach, subpoena, or sell. Export CSVs for your office records.

How current are the statistics?

Each statistics page states its build date and the exact decision or roster slice it was computed from — no silent refresh dates. The BVA statistics are rebuilt from the Board's public archive as new decisions are published (the coverage line above shows the current build), and the roster statistics from VA OGC's weekly roster snapshots.

What should exist here that doesn't?

These tools are built from documented rep pain points — POA tracking, deadline math, workload proof. If your office needs something specific, say so and it gets considered for the build queue.

VetAid is a free veterans claims tool, not a VA-accredited representative — it does not file anything with VA for you, and it works alongside your accredited VSO, claims agent or attorney. About VetAid
