# VA Claim Commander

> Veteran-owned tool that helps U.S. veterans build the documentation for a VA disability claim: AI-drafted nexus letters (reviewed and signed by a licensed clinician through Commander Health), personal statements, buddy/lay statements, and a ready-to-file claim package assembled in the order a VA rater reads it. Core documents are free for veterans — no consultations to buy, no percentage of back pay. Founded by Dr. Mike Roberts, a 100% P&T veteran. Not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. No claim outcome is ever guaranteed; rating decisions are made solely by VA adjudicators.
