About this listen

Filing your first VA claim can feel like navigating a maze- one wrong turn and you're stuck waiting months or even years. In this episode, Tim Woods, 23-year vet, and Anthony Boyd, 9-year vet, walk you through the essential forms needed to file a claim from your Intent to File and Lay Statment to the primary documentation that keeps your claim moving forward.

They break down what each form is for, why it matters, and how to avoid common mistakes when filling them out, whether you're doing it online at va.gov, with a VA Liaison, or by mail. You'll also learn what records to have ready, including your DD214, unit name, dates of service, and medical treatment locations.

This episode runs a bit shorter, focusing more on the key forms and documents every veteran needs to successfully file their claim.
