The forms a vet actually files

VA Forms Library

A complete claim packet is more than the 21-526EZ. These are the supporting forms — drafted in your voice, walked through step by step. Every output is editable text you can paste into VA.gov or print and mail.

Form 21-526EZAI draft + walkthrough

The disability claim itself

AI drafts each claimed condition with the right service-connection theory (direct, presumptive, secondary, aggravation), real CFR cites, evidence checklist, and a paste-ready narrative for VA.gov. Plus a section-by-section walkthrough of every block on the form.

Form 21-0781AI draft

PTSD / MST stressor statement

AI drafts the in-service stressor in the rater-friendly shape M21-1 wants. Specific date or date range, unit/location, the event in calm clinical-but-personal prose. MST-aware: surfaces markers when direct corroboration is missing.

Draft my PTSD statement

Form 21-4138AI draft

Statement in Support of Claim

The universal "let me explain to the rater" form. AI writes a tight, paragraph-per-fact draft addressing exactly the open question: gap in records, daily-life impact, response to a development letter, late effective-date clarification.

Form 21-10210AI draft

Buddy / lay witness statement

Powerful, under-used. AI drafts a 3rd-person witness statement with the basis-of-knowledge sentence raters require. Spouse for symptom continuity. Battle buddy for in-service event corroboration. Supervisor for work impact.

Form 21-686cAI draft + walkthrough

Add or remove dependents

AI classifies each dependent (spouse / child / stepchild / dependent parent), computes the 1-year retroactive back-pay window per qualifying event date, and lists exactly what to attach per type. The most-missed money in VA benefits.

Form 20-0995AI draft

Supplemental Claim (post-denial)

The only post-AMA appeal lane that lets you submit NEW evidence. AI drafts the "Identification of New and Relevant Evidence" section. File within 1 year of the prior decision to preserve effective date.

Form 20-0996AI draft

Higher-Level Review (post-denial)

No-new-evidence path: a senior reviewer re-reads the existing record for legal or factual errors. AI drafts the "Identification of Errors" with CFR citations. Recommends the informal conference.

Pair the form with the rating

Filing the 21-526EZ for one of these?

Read the rating guide first. Each one explains the 38 CFR criteria a rater scores, the 2026 monthly compensation by tier, common secondary conditions to claim alongside, and the nexus angle for that specific diagnostic code.
