Your Responsibility#
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information you enter. You must review and verify ALL content before submitting anything to the VA - especially AI-generated content.
Submitting false statements may have serious legal consequences.
AI-Generated Content Warning#
This app uses a third-party AI service provider to generate suggestions and content. AI output can be inaccurate or fabricated. Verify any legal citations using official sources before relying on them. NEVER submit AI-generated legal citations without independent verification. You assume all risk for reliance on AI-generated content.
The Appeals Guide's case law database uses curated, verified citations from real court decisions — not AI-generated content. However, case summaries are simplified and may not reflect every nuance. You must still verify all citations independently.
Web-Sourced Reference Information#
Certain features display information retrieved from publicly available sources including VA.gov, the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA), the Federal Register, the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR), and published medical research databases.
This information is presented for educational reference only. You should understand:
- Claim Recon does not create, evaluate, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of any third-party content. Web sources may contain errors, may be outdated, or may not apply to your specific circumstances.
- BVA decisions displayed in the Service are public records retrieved from government databases. Individual case outcomes depend on unique facts, evidence, and circumstances. Past BVA decisions do not predict the outcome of your claim.
- Medical research references are retrieved from publicly indexed sources and are presented for your healthcare provider's independent review. Claim Recon does not evaluate medical evidence or provide medical opinions.
- Regulatory information (38 CFR, Federal Register notices, M21-1 Manual references) may be superseded by more recent publications. Always verify current regulations at ecfr.gov or VA.gov.
Always verify all information directly at VA.gov or with an accredited Veterans Service Organization, VA-accredited attorney, or VA-accredited claims agent before making decisions about your benefits.
VA Lighthouse Reference Data#
Claim Recon uses VA Lighthouse reference APIs for public forms and benefits-reference data. Claim Recon does not display live claim status from a veteran's VA.gov account, cannot guarantee that public reference data is current at the exact moment you view it, and does not replace direct verification at VA.gov.
Professional Consultation#
We strongly recommend consulting with a VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization (VSO), attorney, or claims agent before filing your claim. Find accredited representatives at va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation.
