Make sense of your records. Build a stronger VA claim.

Ask Raven for the work in front of you.

Every task runs in one chat. Understand a VA letter, read a DBQ, analyze medical records, research a condition, explore secondary and presumptive conditions, find gaps in your evidence, make an evidence checklist, prepare for a C&P exam, review your claim preparation and understand your review options. Raven also helps you write personal statements, buddy statements and a nexus request for your clinician, and saves what it makes to your account. Use it on your own or alongside your VSO, accredited claims agent or attorney.

How we use Board decisions to help your claim.

The Board of Veterans’ Appeals decides VA claims on appeal and explains every ruling in writing. Claim Raven has collected and analyzed more than 1.8 million of those decisions, from 1992 to July 2026: about 4.5 million rulings on individual issues and more than 234 million data points. It has read 511,042 of them in depth, and its outcome numbers match the Board’s own annual report within 1 to 3 points. For each ruling it records dozens of details, from the outcome and the reason to the evidence the Board relied on, so veterans can learn what the Board looks for and prepare a stronger claim.

Upload VA letters, medical records, DBQs and service records to Documents. Each record is sorted by type, and letters that need you come first. Search records finds any word on any page, with filters for record type, year and doctor, and charts the numbers in your records with their source pages. Search records is included with every account.

Your whole C-file, read in minutes. Find what’s worth a closer look.

Your C-file is VA’s claims file on you, often thousands of pages. Raven Cipher is the same C-file reader Claim Raven built for VA attorneys and accredited claims agents in Claim Raven Pro. Upload the file as VA sends it, in one PDF or many. It reads every page, sorts the file by document and date, and checks it against rules written from the regulations and Board decisions. In a timed read, 1,000 pages took about a minute. Every lead says why it was flagged and opens the page behind it: time limits, back pay and effective dates, higher ratings, special monthly compensation, new and secondary claims, exam and decision problems, other benefits and questions for a representative. You also get your conditions, a timeline, a search of every page and a written summary to take to a representative. Plus and Pathfinder include one C-File read, however many pages your file has. Standard reads and extra Plus reads are $19 each. Pathfinder members read again for free. Leads are things to check in your file, not decisions. VA decides your claim.
