Ask VA Claims Questions With Any Free AI

We publish the exact prompt we wrote for VA claims questions. Copy it into Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot and ask away — the prompt keeps the AI inside the “explain the regulations, don’t give advice” lines, and cites the same VA rules.

Paste this prompt as your first message in any free AI tool. Wait for the AI to acknowledge the role, then ask your VA claims question in your next message.

Tips for getting the best answers

  • Start with the prompt, not your question. Paste the prompt first. Wait for the AI to acknowledge the role. Then ask your question in the next message.
  • Ask about the rules, not your case. “What does 38 CFR § 3.344 say about reducing a 5-year rating?” gets a better answer than “Will the VA reduce my rating?”
  • You can upload images. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini all read images. Attach a photo or screenshot of a VA letter, exam report, or rating decision and ask questions about it.
  • Do NOT share personal identifiers. Leave out your full SSN, DOB, claim number, and full legal name. The AI doesn’t need them.
  • For personalized advice, see an accredited VSO. No AI can legally evaluate the strength of your specific case or tell you what to file. Find a rep — free.

Prefer a human?

An accredited VSO representative can answer your claims questions for free and help you organize and file. They’re trained on the same regulations, they know your state, and unlike AI they can legally evaluate your specific case.
