I didn’t plan on making an hour-long VA disability video.

Honestly, though I’m tired. Tired of watching Veterans get bad advice. Tired of watching Veterans guess at how to make VA disability claims. Tired of the VA denying claims without explaining why or providing solid guidance to Veterans on how to make a solid claim.

But if you’ve ever asked:

What does the VA ACTUALLY need to approve a claim?

Why do good claims still get denied?

Why does everyone say something different?

Am I missing something obvious?

This video finally explains it—without hype, without scare tactics, and without pretending the VA system is something it’s not.

This isn’t motivation.
This is how the VA legally decides claims.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What the VA is legally required to see before granting service connection

The 3 elements every successful claim must have (and why missing one gets you denied)

Why “the VA already has my records” is risky thinking

How VA raters actually review evidence

The real role of C&P exams (and why a bad one doesn’t always mean denial)

Why symptoms today matter more than what happened years ago

What makes a claim easy for a rater to approve

This video is long because the VA process is complex—but it’s also predictable once you understand the rules.

Use the chapters. Watch it in pieces. Come back to it when you need it.

If you’re confused, frustrated, or just done guessing—this video is for you.
