VA Claim Preparation Software

Organize your VA disability claim in one workspace.

ClaimGap is a local-first desktop app that helps veterans work through VA Form 21-526EZ, organize evidence and statements, and review the full claim package before export — all from a single saved claim file on your own machine.

A structured workspace for claim prep work.

ClaimGap brings the moving parts of a VA disability claim into one organized file — so you're not juggling the form, evidence folders, statements, and final review across separate places.

Guided VA Form 21-526EZ Workflow

Move through the main sections of the official disability compensation form in a structured sequence. The claim opens to a guided flow that mirrors the actual form structure.

See All Features

Evidence Workspace

Track supporting records organized by condition and by evidence role — diagnosis, in-service event, connection, and severity — not just by file name or upload date.

See Evidence Tools

Final Review and Export

Before you export, the Final Review screen catches missing items and shows completeness status across conditions. Export as a claim packet PDF or a bundle ZIP when the claim is ready.

Claim prep is scattered without a real workspace.

Without a tool like this, the work ends up spread across form questions, saved PDFs, evidence folders, personal notes, buddy statements, and a list of things still to gather. It is easy to lose track of where each piece lives and what still needs work.

ClaimGap gives that work a stable home. The workspace holds your claim file, conditions, evidence, statements, and PDF Library together so you can move through them in order and export when the package is ready.

  • Saved claim files that reopen exactly where you left off
  • Condition-specific evidence organization, not one big folder
  • Separate statement drafting area for personal and buddy statements
  • Built-in PDF Library with VA forms and public DBQ references
  • Final review and file-check surfaces before export

Preparation software with clear boundaries.

ClaimGap is a tool for organizing claim work. It does not file claims, provide legal advice, or represent you before the VA.

Local-first by design

Claim work stays in local files on your machine. The app does not transmit data to external servers, require a login, or depend on cloud sync.

Real file format

Claims are saved as real files you can reopen, continue, and back up. One workspace. One file. Full workflow continuity between sessions.

Review before export

The product includes visible review gates — File Check and Final Review — so issues surface before the claim leaves your hands, not after.

About ClaimGap: ClaimGap helps users prepare, organize, review, and export claim materials. It is not legal advice, not medical advice, not financial advice, and not accredited VA representation. Users remain responsible for reviewing and submitting their own filings through official channels.
