What's included
Every document you need to file.
Full access from the first minute of your trial. These are finished documents you download, sign, and submit — built to the standard the VA evaluates against.
- Your personal statementRendered onto the real VA Form 21-4138, in your own words, mapped to the criteria a rater scores. You sign it and file it.
- A buddy / lay statementOn the genuine VA Form 21-10210, in your witness's voice — with the contact details the VA needs to verify them.
- A nexus letter drafted to the VA's standardThe medical opinion most claims are missing, written to what a rater weighs. You take it to your own provider to review and sign.
- Your evidence, organizedA cover letter that indexes exactly what you're turning in and why, so the reviewer isn't hunting for it.
The one thing with a separate cost is a licensed provider's signature on that nexus letter — because it's a clinician's time, and because the VA weighs a signed opinion far more heavily than an unsigned draft. That's a flat, upfront price, never a share of your back pay.
A sample claim's documents: a personal statement, a witness-signed buddy statement, a signed medical opinion and an uploaded sleep study, then the package cover sheet listing them in filing order.

Know exactly what VA decided — and why.
Drop in a decision letter. Every granted and denied condition, the reason VA gave in plain English, the one piece each denial is missing, and the date to answer by.
2 granted · 2 denied — every reason VA gave, in plain English, with the move that answers each denial.
4 conditions in this decision
Granted

2A denial isn't the end. Each one below can become a supplemental claim built on the exact gap the VA named — the response that speaks directly to why it was denied.
Examples on a demo veteran. VA decides every claim.
Why it matters
What a stronger claim can be worth.
Illustrative only — every claim is different and nothing here is a promise of any rating, approval, or amount. But the stakes are real.
If getting the evidence right helps you understand a denial, prepare for your C&P exam, or surface a secondary condition you'd have missed, 3 days is enough time to see it for yourself — at $0. Figures are general illustrations from the published VA compensation rates effective December 1, 2025, for a veteran with no dependents — not a prediction for your claim.

The model
A price you can read in one line.
- No cut of your back pay
- Never sells or trains on your records
- Cancel from your account, any day
Every veteran gets the full toolbox from day one: 3 days of complete access — every document, every tool — for $0. Your card goes on file when you start the trial, so that when it ends, nothing interrupts your work. On day 4 it's $15 a month, and you can cancel from your account page — any day, including day 3.
There are no tiers to decode and no meters to watch. One flat price covers your personal statement, your buddy statements, the nexus letter draft your doctor can review and sign, the cover letter, and the assembled ready-to-file package — plus every scan, revision, and tool. No credits, no per-document charges, and never a percentage of your back pay.
The one thing priced separately is a licensed clinician's signature on your nexus letter through Commander Health — a flat, upfront $500, because that's a professional's time and the VA weighs a signed opinion far more heavily than an unsigned draft. Never a share of your benefits.
We built it this way because the going rate for done-for-you claim prep runs four figures, and some operators take a cut of your back pay on top. $15 a month, everything included, cancel anytime — a price you can read in one line, because a price you can't understand is a price you can't trust.
Questions
Pricing questions, answered.
Straight answers about the trial, the charge, and what you keep.
What do I get during the trial?
Everything. The trial is the full product, not a sample: every document — your personal statement, buddy statements, a nexus letter draft ready for your doctor's signature, and a cover letter — plus the assembled ready-to-file package, Commander Scan, the Deep File Analyzer, the Commander Scout strategist, and every calculator and prep tool. 3 days, full access, nothing held back for a higher tier, because there isn't one. Commander Scout answers up to 50 questions a day.
When am I charged?
On day 4, unless you cancel first — $15 a month, or $150 a year (two months free). Your card goes on file when you start the trial — the first time you download or send something — so your work is never interrupted after that: if the product earns its keep, you never stop mid-claim to dig out a payment method; if it doesn't, cancel and pay nothing. You can cancel any time from your account at any point during the 3 days.
How do I cancel?
From your account page — no phone call, no retention script, no hoops. Cancel during the trial and you're never charged; cancel later and you keep access through the period you've paid for. Either way, every document you've already downloaded is yours to keep.
Do you take a cut of my back pay?
Never. VA Claim Commander is a flat-rate, self-service documentation tool, not a claims consultancy. We never charge contingency fees, never touch your benefits, and never file anything on your behalf. If anyone offers to file your claim for a cut of your back pay, verify their VA accreditation first — accredited VSO help is free.
Will I be upsold to a consultation to build my claim?
No — there are no consultations to buy, no metered credits, and no per-document charges. Your subscription covers every document: personal statement, buddy statements, the nexus letter draft, the cover letter, and the assembled package. The one thing with a separate price is a tailored, clinician-signed nexus letter through Commander Health, where a licensed provider reviews your evidence and signs it if it holds up — a flat, upfront price, never a percentage of your back pay.
What's the difference between the veteran plan and Commander for Advocates?
They're two separate things. The veteran plan (3-day free trial, then $15/month) is for an individual veteran working their own claim. Commander for Advocates is the subscription for VSOs, accredited claims agents, and VA attorneys who manage many veterans' claims at once — $20 per veteran for each month they work the case, nothing while it sits. Its pricing, estimator, and questions are on their own page at vaclaimcommander.com/pricing/advocates.
What do I actually end up with?
A package you can file. Analysis is part of how we get there, but it isn't the product — you finish with the documents themselves: your personal statement on VA Form 21-4138, a buddy statement on VA Form 21-10210, a nexus letter drafted to the VA's standard for your provider to review and sign, and a cover letter that indexes your evidence for the reviewer. Ready to submit, not a stack of insights you still have to turn into a claim.
Can I get a nexus letter a provider will sign?
Yes. Through Commander Health, a licensed provider reviews your records and signs an independent medical opinion (a nexus letter) — for a flat, upfront price, never a percentage of your back pay. It's the one thing here with a separate cost, because it's a licensed professional's time. Every other document you build — personal statements, buddy statements, the drafts and the assembled package — is covered by your subscription.
Do you use my records to train AI?
No. We never sell your records or use them to train AI models. On the free plan we don't keep your files on our servers. If you turn on saving, we keep the text of your records, and any files you put in your vault, encrypted, until you delete them.
Should I still work with a free VSO?
Yes, if you can — a VA-accredited VSO's help is free, and we recommend it. We don't replace your representative; we help you walk in prepared, with your evidence organized and your documents drafted, so their time goes further. VA Claim Commander is a self-service tool, not accredited representation.
Commander for Advocates
VSOs, accredited claims agents, and VA attorneys pay $20 per veteran for each month they work the case, nothing while it sits, first month's veteran fees never more than $500.
Ready when you are.
