Pre-Discharge VA Disability Claim Prep (Active Duty Zoom) – July 21

Live Zoom Brief + Interactive Q&A

Transitioning out soon? Don’t leave VA benefits on the table — understand the BDD process before you file.

Still on active duty and preparing to separate? Filing your VA disability claim correctly before discharge can significantly impact your benefits and processing timeline.

This no-cost Zoom session will walk you step-by-step through how to prepare your Pre-Discharge (BDD) VA Disability Claim, what documentation is required, what to expect from the VA process, and how to avoid common mistakes that delay or reduce benefits.

You will learn:

✔ What qualifies for a Pre-Discharge (BDD) claim
✔ Required medical documentation and evidence
✔ How the VA reviews claims
✔ Common errors that slow approval
✔ What happens after submission
✔ Live Q&A throughout the session

This is an interactive discussion — not a lecture. Bring your questions, including questions about existing claims.
