Filing or Appealing a VA Disability Claim
in 2026?

Learn What the VA Actually Looks For
— Before You Submit.

Join a former VA Rating Specialist for a no-cost, live educational training where we break down how VA disability claims
are evaluated — and why so many veterans are denied.

Next Live Training | March 12 | 7:00 PM EST

Join our educational training that reveals how the VA evaluates evidence, assigns ratings,vand why small mistakes lead to years of lost benefits.

Seating is limited to the first
100 attendees.

The VA follows a system.

If you don’t understand that system, you’re guessing.


This training removes the guesswork.

Most veterans don’t lose their claim because they don’t deserve benefits.

They lose because:

  • They rely on generic advice instead of structured guidance

  • They misunderstand how diagnostic codes affect ratings

  • They submit incomplete or poorly positioned documentation

  • Their evidence doesn’t match the required elements
    for service connection

Join our live, veteran-led training to understand how VA raters evaluate claims — and how to build your disability claims strategy before you file.

What You'll Learn in This Free Live Training

VA Claims University was built because most veterans are forced to piece together bad information from forums, YouTube, or generic claims services.

This training introduces the education-first system behind VA Claims University — designed to teach veterans how to:

Understand the VA claims process end-to-end

The 3 elements required for service connection

How rating percentages are actually determined

Why strong claims still get denied

This is educational training — not legal representation — designed to give you clarity before you take your next step.
