Free, and staying free

Your VA claim,
in order.

Every deadline, every piece of evidence, and the rating math, organized in one place.

180 days out90 days outlast day

That green stretch is Benefits Delivery at Discharge, the only run of days you can file before you separate. Put your date in and those become your real dates. Nothing is saved, and you do not need an account.

Ready214 does not file your claim.

Filing is free at VA.gov, and an accredited VSO will file on your behalf at no cost. This organizes what you bring them. No paywall here, and never a cut of your back pay.

VA math is not addition.

Each rating applies to whatever is left of the whole person, then the total rounds to the nearest ten. It is the rule most people get wrong, and it decides your check.

Where are you in this?

BDD timeline

Every deadline counted backward from your separation date, so the 180 to 90 day window never sneaks up on you.

Evidence plan

Four buckets per condition: a current diagnosis, a service link tying it to your time in, severity, and life impact. You always know which one is missing.

Symptom logs

Date-stamped notes that become the frequency evidence a rater is actually looking for.

C&P exam prep

What the examiner asks, condition by condition, before you walk in.

Condition library

Plain English on 27 common conditions, their diagnostic codes, and what each rating actually turns on.

Read before you file

Forty plain-English guides to the claim process and the rating schedule, with the regulations cited. No account needed.

Why Ready214 exists

Every rule behind a VA claim is public. They are also scattered across regulation text, VA pages, and forum posts of wildly varying accuracy. None of it is in order, and none of it is written for someone doing this for the first time. Ready214 puts it in one place, so a claim does not come apart over a date nobody wrote down.

Free, and staying free.

Ads and the occasional coffee cover the upkeep. That is the whole business model, and it is why nothing here is ever going behind a paywall.
