21-526EZDisability Compensation Claim
The foundation of everything. This opens your VA disability case. File this first before anything else — list every condition you intend to claim. Your effective date (and back pay) is tied to when this form is submitted, not when you're rated.

Your personal megaphone. A first-hand narrative connecting your current conditions to specific in-service events. Use this every time you file — it provides the chronicity the VA needs that medical codes alone cannot capture. Explain when it started, how it progressed, and how it limits your daily life today.
⬇ Download Form21-10210Buddy / Lay Witness Statement
Third-party testimony from someone who witnessed the event or observes your daily limitations — spouse, battle buddy, co-worker, or family member. Critical when military medical records are missing. A buddy can verify an unrecorded training injury; a spouse can document what your worst days look like.
⬇ Download Form21-0781Statement for PTSD Claims
PTSD-specific intake form. Maps out exact dates, locations, unit assignments, and descriptions of traumatic events. The VA uses this to cross-reference historical military records, deck logs, and morning reports. Only use this for PTSD claims — not general mental health conditions.

If your service-connected disabilities prevent you from maintaining substantially gainful employment, file this to be paid at the 100% rate regardless of your combined rating. Requirements: one condition rated 60%+ or two conditions totaling 70%+ (one at 40%+). Many veterans at 70–90% leave this money on the table.
