- You should consult a licensed medical provider, an accredited VSO, accredited claims agent, accredited attorney, or other qualified professional before relying on any record produced by this app.

About VA-related language used in this app
Words like "prostrating attack," "completely prostrating attack," "prolonged," and "severe economic inadaptability" appear in 38 CFR 4.124a and related case law. This app uses those words because they are the categories the VA actually evaluates. Marking a migraine as "prostrating" in the app is a self-assessment for your own record — it is not a VA finding.
About reports
Reports are generated entirely from the data you enter. The plain-English summaries describe what you logged. They are not assessments of merit, severity, or rating eligibility. They are intended as a one-page artifact you can hand to a provider, VSO, claims agent, or attorney during a conversation about your claim.
About accuracy
We deliberately do not coach exaggeration. The app prompts you to answer accurately. Building a long, consistent, honest record over time is the single most useful thing this tool can do for you.
