The disability calculator and filing toolkit veterans actually use. Calculate your combined rating, surface every condition you can claim, find the benefits you've earned, and file ready.
VA Ready on the App Store. Vet Ready on Google Play. One app, two stores.
Used by 25,000+ veterans Sourced from current 38 CFR Data stays on your device
● Live on iOS and Android. Different name per platform (Google Play requires a non-government-sounding name), same app, same data.
Combined-rating math is the easy part, and everyone does it. The hard part is knowing why a condition sits at 30 and not 50. VA Ready shows you the actual 38 CFR break points for all 762 conditions, so you are reading the same criteria your rater reads.
This is an educational tool. It shows you the criteria and does the math. It does not predict what the VA will award you, and neither can anyone else.
“The exact same rating the VA certified me for”★★★★★“I entered all of my ailments, and it calculated the exact same rating that the VA certified me for. That gave me a lot of confidence in its accuracy. I also love supporting veteran-owned businesses… I highly recommend this app to any veteran who wants to better understand their VA rating or estimate their benefits.”
Kimberly Marin · Google Play · Jul 23, 2026
Recent Updates★★★★★“The ability to document your evidence, make notations, and review your conditions with periodic updates and comments solidifies this app as the best app there is for viewing, preparing, and filing VA Disability Compensation Claims. Worth way more than the cost of the lifetime subscription.”

“I didn’t know I had so many benefits in my state”★★★★★“Love this app! I didn’t know that I had so many benefits in my state. Free license plate and tax exemptions!! Thank you!!”
Carmen Umbria · Google Play · Apr 29, 2026
“A great repository”★★★★☆“4.5 as it is. But this app is a 5/5 for potential. Even if you know all this information, it’s a great repository.”

Life changer★★★★★“This app is great. Tracks all your claims and helps you making sure you do not forget any appointments along the road. Definitely download it if you are about to separate / retire from the Military.”

Reviews as veterans left them on the App Store and Google Play, including the four-star ones. Nothing solicited, nothing incentivized. The calculator is an estimate tool, not a prediction: what the VA awards depends on your evidence and your exam.
A rater and a C&P examiner assess frequency and severity over time. One exam captures one day. Log it as it happens, keep the dates, and walk into your VSO appointment with it printed.
VA Ready isn't a list. It's a working toolkit, cross-referenced line-by-line against 38 CFR, growing every day.
Real screens from VA Ready, your combined rating, the benefits you've earned, the presumptives your service unlocks, and exactly where you stand in the filing process.




Add the bases you served at and the aircraft you worked on. Watch every presumptive condition you may be eligible for tick up in real time.
Machinist’s Mate, Electrician’s Mate, and Electronics Technician (Nuclear) are now split between submarine and surface. MMN-SS / MMN-SW and so on, each with its own exposure profile. Plus secondary qualifications as additional duties: Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT), Engineering Watch Supervisor, and Nuclear Welder.
Free & ProA major expansion of the Exposure Calculator, stateside, overseas, and the installations Navy and Air Force veterans kept asking for. 816 documented bases now tracked, each tied to its documented exposures. If your base wasn’t there before, search again.
Free & ProAdded the MV-22 Osprey, F-35, KC-46, and a full ground-vehicle fleet. HMMWV, MRAP, JLTV, LAV, each with the right icon and exposure links. 67 airframes and vehicles now mapped to the exposures tied to them.
Free & ProFive new filing guides for when the VA moves against an existing rating: proposed reductions, protected ratings (the 5-, 10-, and 20-year rules), total-disability protections, Clear and Unmistakable Error (CUE), and your due-process rights, each cited to the governing 38 CFR section.
Free & ProEvery screen and detail view now fills the screen on iPad and Android tablets instead of a small floating card, the condition picker, filing guides, and your claim, sized for the bigger display. Easier to read, easier to tap.
Free & ProCorrected rating screens that could highlight two options at once, restored the Left/Right toggle on shin splints, sharpened search, and improved stability throughout.
Free & ProEvery claim is stronger with evidence behind it. Tap a condition and see the real, peer-reviewed studies that back it, sourced from PubMed and the NIH, with a direct link to every paper.
Open any condition in My Claim to see the peer-reviewed literature tied to it, title, journal, year, key findings, why it matters, and a direct PubMed link. The library now spans 2,305 studies across 384 diagnostic codes, from PTSD, depression, knee, back, sleep apnea, hypertension, and hearing loss to the cancers presumptive under PACT and Agent Orange. The conditions veterans file most, tinnitus, PTSD, back and knee, sleep apnea, migraines, hearing loss, GERD, and more, each carry a dozen or more studies spanning prevalence, severity, treatment outcomes, and service-connection. Every reference is real and verified against the live National Library of Medicine database, no placeholder citations.
ProMost veterans walk into a VSO appointment and try to recall years of history out loud. Build the packet instead, and pick what goes in it: conditions and ratings with the criteria level you selected and where your evidence stands, presumptives matched from the bases and aircraft you served on, your symptom log, your Exam Questionnaire answers in your own words, and your claim journal with any gathered-but-unsent evidence flagged. It prints with your full service history on the cover, each period listed separately with its branch and component, so your rep can apply 38 CFR 3.6 to Active, Reserve and Guard time instead of guessing at one collapsed date range.
ProFrom any condition’s studies sheet, tap Share and get a printable PDF: citation, key findings, plain-language relevance, and the PubMed link for every study. Bring it to your C&P exam, hand it to your VSO, or attach it to your claim. Your full Claim Summary PDF now ends with the same peer-reviewed evidence appendix, one block per condition.
ProThe latest expansion added research for dozens of conditions that didn’t have it before, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, asbestosis, and TBI-related dementia, plus cranial- and peripheral-nerve conditions, the full mental-health spectrum, and kidney and endocrine disorders. More diagnostic codes are added every cycle.
Always growingRecord your service the way you actually served it, period by period, then hand your VSO a packet built from everything you have logged. Since 1.7.0 the app also keeps a full claim journal, writes your C&P exam answers before the exam, and now saves the collateral duties that carry their own claimable conditions.
Active Duty then Guard? Two branches? Each period is now recorded on its own with its dates, its component, and the MOS you held during it, and the same MOS can belong to more than one period. This is not bookkeeping: the VA applies different rules to Active, Reserve and Guard time under 38 CFR 3.6, and a rep cannot apply them to a single collapsed span. Every export now prints your service history as separate line items. See which of your duty periods count →
FreePick the sections and build one numbered PDF to hand across the desk: conditions and ratings with where your evidence stands, presumptives from your exposures, your symptom log summary, your exam answers, and your journal timeline with anything gathered but unsent flagged. It prints with your full service history on the cover. See what goes in it →
ProMost of a claim happens in the gaps: the appeal that takes eighteen months, the nexus letter you gathered and never sent, the knee that gets worse a little every winter. Timeline, evidence and conditions in one searchable place, every entry dated, with a once-a-year reminder to review your own record. Years later you still have the dates.
FreeThe examiner asks how you are doing. The rating criteria ask how you are on an average day and a bad one. Answer the questions at your kitchen table instead: how it started, how often flare-ups hit and how long they last, what a good day looks like. Export it, and note that an examiner is not required to accept papers at the exam, so submit it on a VA Form 21-4138 beforehand if you want it in your file.
ProSERE, Auxiliary Security Force, Detainee Operations, Drill Sergeant, Airborne, and dozens more. Save them to your profile and they print on your claim summary, VSO packet and exposure profile. A collateral duty carries exposures and claimable conditions your primary MOS does not imply, and a VSO cannot ask about a duty they were never told about.
FreeThe finder was rebuilt on real geographic search across 8,949 accredited offices, so a county or a town name resolves instead of failing, and results sort by actual distance. My VSO is its own tab, with appointment reminders and veteran reviews you can report or mute.
FreeTap any entry in your history to view it, correct it, or remove it, with a confirmation first because your log is evidence. The 30-day grid, average, days logged and worst day give a C&P examiner the frequency-and-severity picture one appointment cannot show.
FreeSpecial Monthly Compensation is calculated correctly now: most SMC levels replace your schedular rate rather than adding to it, and SMC-K is the exception that adds on top. Bilateral flat feet is one rating rather than two, because 38 CFR rates it as a single condition covering both feet. TDIU now distinguishes granted from applying for it, so a pending claim never prints as a rating you hold.
FreeAdd conditions from the 15 most-claimed list or search all 755 in the VA's rating schedule. For each one:
Tap any rating from 0% to 100% and see every benefit it unlocks. Federal and state.
Your MOS, your PACT Act presumptives, and your exposures, merged into one ranked list.
Tell the app where you are and the Claim Navigator maps the whole route, turn by turn, from “getting ready to file” to “decision made.” No more guessing what comes next.
Based on your separation date, the app tells you where you are in the VA process and what to do next.
Five minutes of setup buys a lifetime of benefits you've already earned.
Branch, MOS, service dates, separation date, state, dependents, deployments, and exposure history. Takes 2 minutes. Everything stays on your device.
Pick from the most-claimed conditions or search all 755. Rate each one using the VA's own criteria. Watch your combined rating update in real-time, with the bilateral factor handled automatically.
One screen merging your MOS-typical conditions, PACT Act presumptives, and conditions tied to your exposures. Tap to add. The app warns you about pyramiding before it lands. Multi-MOS supported.
For each condition: diagnosis, service records, nexus letter, buddy statements, DBQ review. Check them off as you gather them. Know when you're ready.
Export your claim summary with every condition, diagnostic code, and estimated rating. Use it as your checklist on VA.gov. Nothing missed, nothing forgotten.
Free covers the full claim flow. Pro unlocks the deep CFR criteria, every state's benefits, and the full Claim Intel engine. Pick what fits.
