For veterans and anyone whose illness prevents them from working
Filing for VA disability or SSDI is overwhelming — complex forms, medical evidence requirements, strict deadlines. The system is designed to be confusing. Own Your Claim walks you through every step and generates the documents that win claims.
$30 per case. No subscription. No lawyer needed. Download your complete document package when you're ready to file.
70%
of SSDI claims are denied on the first application — usually over paperwork, not eligibility
150
days is the average VA claim processing time — most of that is waiting on documentation
$0
extra many veterans leave on the table — not because they don't qualify, but because of how they filed
That's why we built this.
Not features. Real things you can submit.
A personal statement that captures your worst days — the functional impact, not just the diagnosis. Written in the language the VA and SSA use to approve claims.
The documents and medical records you actually need — organized by claim type. Most denials happen because of a missing piece. We track every piece.
The 60-day appeal deadline is the one that kills most denied claims. Your dashboard tracks every date that matters so a missed window never ends your case.
Official VA & SSA forms, pre-filled
VA forms 21-526EZ, 21-4142, 21-4138. SSA forms 3368, 3373. No hunting for PDFs.
A doctor letter template your physician can sign
Treating source opinion letters are one of the highest-value documents in any claim. We generate the draft.
We ask the questions. You tell your story. We build the documents.
We ask guided questions about your service history, your medical conditions, and how they affect your daily life. Voice or text — whatever works for you. Specific prompts help you describe the impact reviewers need to see.
Upload treatment notes, test results, buddy statements. We organize everything into a case file and flag what's missing.
For $30 — less than a single co-pay — download every document you need to file. Personal statement, evidence summary, pre-filled forms, doctor letter template, deadline tracker. Ready to submit.

If you received an Other Than Honorable (OTH) or General Under Honorable Conditions discharge — you may still be eligible for VA disability benefits. We'll help you understand your options and what a Character of Discharge review could mean for your eligibility before you invest time in a claim.
Discharge upgrades have helped thousands of veterans unlock benefits they were told they couldn't have. A VSO can evaluate your situation at no cost.

She's 52 now. Until recently, she was a social worker — spending her days helping kidney dialysis patients navigate their own health crises. Then she lost that job. The cognitive issues caught up with her, and she could no longer do the work she'd given her life to.
When she tried to file for disability, a lawyer told her she probably wasn't a strong candidate. Not because she didn't deserve it — because her medical records weren't generating the right kind of documentation. The system wasn't going to help her, not because her suffering wasn't real, but because no one had helped her tell her story in the language the system understands.
That felt wrong to me. And I kept thinking about it.
I was already building software, so I started asking: what if there was a tool that could sit with someone like my sister and help her tell her story the right way? Something that understood what Social Security and the VA actually need to see, and walked her through collecting it, organizing it, and putting it into words she might not know to use on her own?
Own Your Claim started as something I built for her. She knows that. I hope it becomes something that helps everyone who's in the same fight.
There are millions of people navigating this journey -- veterans, survivors, caregivers -- who deserve better than a system that rewards those who can afford attorneys and leaves everyone else to figure out the paperwork. AI made it possible to build this affordably. I decided to make it affordable to use.
Thirty dollars. One case. No lawyers required -- though we'll always tell you when you need one.
