Track my VA claim

The VA moves your claim through 8 phases — but their tracker barely explains them. Tell us the step you're on and we'll show you, in plain English, what's happening, what's next, and how to use the wait.

✓ The VA's official 8-phase process, explained✓ No Chrome extension required✓ Nothing leaves your browser✓ Educational only — no outcome or timeline promises
