A higher rating means more money each month, plus back pay to the date you were first eligible, and you have one year to appeal. The kit explains your decision, points you to the right review, and generates the filing from your answers, on any device.
A decision review is not one process, it is three, and picking the wrong one costs you time. The kit identifies your situation and tells you which lane fits, then prepares that exact form.
A reviewer decides your claim again with the new records. VA has a duty to assist and must help gather the records you identify.
A senior reviewer takes a fresh look at the same evidence. You add nothing new; instead you point to the specific errors, and can ask for a call to explain them.
Your case goes to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. You choose a direct review, new evidence, or a hearing with the judge.
You have one year from the date on your decision letter to file a review, and filing in time protects your effective date, which is what protects your back pay. The VA goes by the date it receives your form, not the postmark, so the kit counts backward and helps you add the deadline to your calendar.
Counted to the date received, added to your calendarThis is why a stack of ratings often lands lower than veterans expect.
Each new rating only applies to what is left after the last one, then the total rounds to the nearest ten. The kit does this math for you, shows where you actually stand, and flags when an increase or a missed condition could move you up a bracket.
VA decision letters are dense and easy to misread. The kit tells you what it actually means.
You answer a few questions and it points you to the right review, generates your statement and cover letter, filled in with your answers, and shows the date it has to be in by. You review it, change anything, sign it, and file it yourself.
Filing a review is free. The only people who can legally charge for help are accredited attorneys, and only a capped share of your back pay, and only after your first decision. Anyone else who wants a percentage up front is breaking the law.
Unaccredited consultants who charge percentage fees. Taking a cut for VA claim help is against federal law.
Accredited attorneys can take a capped percentage of your back pay, and usually only at the higher appeal stages. Worth it for a complex case, costly for a straightforward one.
Do it yourself with the steps, the right form, and the deadline. Yours forever, on every device.
