MyVaBenefits is designed to help maximize the amount of disability money you and your family receive for your injuries when you retire or separate from the military.
Wounded Warriors, this app is for you. It will help you receive more money every month from the VA for your injuries and help you document your injuries and treatment.
This app is not just a calculator, it will tell you what information you need to provide (based on your selected injuries/diagnoses) and allow you to document and save the information in order to receive the most compensation for your injuries and illnesses. It allows you to document your injuries, symptoms, doctor visits, episodes and medications. It helps you save and organize the information in a secure encrypted database. When you are ready for your VA interview, email all of your injuries with your documentation to yourself or the VA. If you dont provide documentation to the VA, you may not receive the full compensation for your injuries or illnesses. It works completely offline, without an internet connection.
The VA will rely on YOU to provide them with all of the medical information that is pertinent to the injury you are claiming. They cannot not look through your medical records for you.

Examinations will be conducted without the use of hearing aids."
