Self-service vs consulting

Self-service claim prep vs claim consulting.

Some veterans want software to organize their own work. Others need accredited representation. This page explains the difference clearly.

Software you control

No success fees

Accredited-help friendly

Self-service software

ValorAI helps you understand, organize, and prepare your own claim-prep work without taking over as a representative.

Consulting and representation

If someone is advising, filing, or representing you before VA, check accreditation and fee structure carefully.

A hybrid path is fine

Use ValorAI to prepare a clean packet, then bring it to a VSO, attorney, or accredited claims agent when you need that role.

  2. 2Verify accreditation for anyone representing you.
  3. 3Keep your documents and decisions organized.
Prep support only

ValorAI is not VA, a VSO, an attorney, or an accredited claims agent. We do not file claims for you or represent you before VA.
