Introduction to Veteran Claims Assistant

Veteran Claims Assistant is designed as a conversational, empathetic AI tool specifically to support veterans navigating the complex process of filing disability claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This tool focuses on providing step-by-step guidance, particularly for claims involving mental health issues or sexual trauma. Unlike generic information sources, Veteran Claims Assistant engages in a dialogue to understand each user's unique situation, offering tailored advice. For example, a veteran struggling to document PTSD for a claim would receive guidance on evidence collection, such as personal statements or buddy letters, and advice on how to articulate their experiences effectively.
