What’s coming
- Claim Finder: conditions often claimed with the ones you have, the ones VA presumes after certain service (like Agent Orange, burn pits, the Gulf War and Camp Lejeune), and the ones linked to what you did in service, like loud noise, combat or asbestos.
- Military Job Lookup: the job code from your DD 214, today’s or decades old. What the job was, what it became, and the conditions linked to its duties.
- My Profile: your dependents, SMC and TDIU, and your military service in one place, with a list of what you may be able to claim.
- Might file: a status for a claim you’re thinking about, so the main screen can show what it could mean for your rating and pay.
- Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and two columns on iPad.
- Support & Community: more places to get help with a claim, your health, caregiving, housing and work.
When it’s out, it shows up as an update in the App Store.
