The Precedent Brief — free.
A filed-ready PDF with 10 real Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions matched to your facts — 8 analogous grants plus 2 instructive contrasts, verbatim Findings of Fact and Reasons & Bases, and a suggested citation for every VA form. Free, no percentage of back-pay, no subscription — every other tool on the site is free too.
Why pricing is what it is.
Trajector charges veterans up to $20,000 per claim. Veterans Guardian takes your first five monthly awards. Both use aggressive marketing to find vets at their most vulnerable and extract a percentage of benefits they earned under fire.
The free VSOs (DAV, VFW, American Legion) are the best deal in veteran-services — use them. They're also overloaded, with backlogs measured in weeks, and quality varies wildly by chapter.
NexusVetClaims exists in the middle: software that does the prep work a lawyer used to charge $5K for, free for the veteran who needs it. No subscription, no percentage of back pay, no strategy-call upsell. VSOs and accredited firms have a separate path — see /for-vsos.
What this would have cost.
| Service | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Trajector Medical claim package | $1,500–$20,000 per claim |
| Veterans Guardian | 5× first month's rating (~$15,000 avg) |
| VA-accredited attorney (denial appeal) | 20–33% of back pay |
| Independent medical opinion (private doctor nexus letter) | $500–$2,500 |
| NexusVetClaims (every tool) | $0 |
| NexusVetClaims Precedent Brief | $0 |
Questions.
Why is everything free?
Because vets earned these benefits through service and should not have to buy software to claim them. That includes the Precedent Brief, a filed-ready PDF of analogous BVA decisions for vets who want one — opt-in, not required, and free.
Will the tools always be free for veterans?
That is the commitment. The AI tools, form drafters, eligibility screeners, appeals clock, and rating guides stay free for vets. We have no plans for a paid vet-facing tier.
Do you take a percentage of my VA rating or back pay?
No. Not ever. That model — taking a cut of benefits vets earned through service — is specifically what this project exists to oppose. We are not representatives under 38 USC § 5904, and we will not become one.
How does this stay sustainable if it is free for vets?
We are exploring partnerships with VSOs and VA-accredited law firms — see /for-vsos. The vet-facing site is not the revenue path; firm and VSO partnerships are. Worst case, the site stays free and small.
Do I have to pay for the Precedent Brief?
No. The Precedent Brief is free, same as every other tool on the site.
Stop researching. Start filing.
Ten minutes with the presumptive checker could surface a claim worth $20,000+ in back pay that you didn't know you earned.
Check my presumptive eligibilitySoftware, not representation. We do not file claims for veterans. Always consult a VA-accredited representative before submitting.
How is this free?
Fair question. There’s no catch, and you never pay us. Here is how the lights stay on:
- The site shows Google ads.
- We’re talking with VSOs and accredited firms about partnerships.
We never take a cut of your rating or back pay, and we never sell your claim details.
We will never ask you for money.
No fees, no card, no share of your benefits. We will also never ask for your VA.gov login. If someone says they’re from NexusVetClaims and asks for any of that, it’s a scam.
Report it to the VA Inspector General hotline or the FTC.
