Veterans Central Hub
Accessing your benefits should be easy. That's why we created VCH—so you can get the support you deserve, without the hassle.
Build stronger VA claim drafts with less guesswork.
Our upcoming Claim Maker is being designed to help veterans organize their story, outline symptoms and service connections, and turn scattered notes into a cleaner starting point before filing a claim.
Step-by-step structure
Guide veterans through service history, symptoms, evidence, and personal statement prep.
Cleaner claim drafting
Turn messy notes into more organized claim language before filing or talking to a VSO.
Built for real veterans
Focused on practical help, not generic legal-sounding filler or confusing form language.
Veterans know the facts, but writing it all out is the hard part.
The Claim Maker is meant to bridge that gap by helping users organize events, symptoms, treatment history, and impact in a way that is easier to review and refine.
A dedicated claim-building experience is on the way.
We are building a separate Claim Maker experience so veterans can start claims with more clarity, stronger organization, and a better first draft before submission.

Coming soon for veterans who want a better claim drafting workflow.

Who Is a Veteran?
Veteran Status Requirements
A veteran is someone who served in active military service and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. To qualify for veteran status and most VA benefits, you must meet these requirements:
✅ Qualifying Service
- • Any branch of Armed Forces
- • Reserve/Guard on Title 10 orders
- • 24+ months active duty (or full period called)
- • Honorable or general discharge
ℹ️ Key Distinctions
- • Title 10 = Federal service (counts)
- • Title 32 = State service (doesn't count)
- • Training only ≠ Veteran status
- • Exceptions exist for disability/hardship
Proving Your Veteran Status
Your DD Form 214 (or NGB Form 22 for Guard/Reserve) is your primary proof of veteran status. Use it to apply for benefits through VA.gov or your local VA office.
