Week 1 – Big Picture, Story Mapping & Records Overview

We start with your story and what the VA actually needs to see.

• Go through your service history, key events, current rating (if any), and goals

• Build your VA timeline and “big picture” so your claim has a clear narrative

• Set up a simple folder structure (digital or physical) for all your VA documents

• Create an initial document list using what you already have (service records, medical records, buddy letters, etc.)

You’ll walk away from Week 1 knowing exactly what your claim is about, what you’re aiming for, and where your important documents live.

Week 2 – Evidence Organization, Gaps & Symptom Logs

Now we turn your life and paperwork into usable, organized evidence.

• Refine your folder structure and document list

• Identify what’s missing in your records and outline clear next steps to get it

• Create or review your symptom logs so they actually reflect your day-to-day reality

• Connect your symptoms to:

  • Work and income

  • Daily tasks (sleep, driving, chores, concentration, etc.)

  • Relationships, family life, and social situations

You’ll leave Week 2 with an organized system and a clear list of what to gather next, plus symptom logs that back up your claim.

Week 3 – C&P Exam Readiness + Strategy & Decisions

We prep you for your C&P & future exams and make sure your next move with the VA is intentional.

• What to expect at a C&P exam (and what it’s not)

• What the examiner is really looking for: function, consistency, and history

• How to prepare ethically:

  • No memorized scripts

  • No exaggeration

  • Ground everything in your real life and your logs

• Build exam notes that reflect your actual daily life so you don’t freeze or forget important details

• Align your goals with where you are in the VA process:

  • File now?

  • Appeal?

  • Wait?

  • Add or adjust claims?

You’ll finish Week 3 feeling prepared for the C&P and clearer about what move to make next.

Week 4 – Final Roadmap, Review & Next Steps

We pull everything together into a clear written plan you can follow.

• Review your organized evidence and symptom logs as one complete picture

• Finalize your written 12–24 month roadmap, including:

  • What to file and when

  • What evidence to add and how

  • Key dates, milestones, and decision points

• Set concrete next steps for the next 30–90 days so you’re not stuck wondering “now what?”

• Discuss whether Alumni support makes sense for you and what that would look like

You’ll leave Week 4 with a realistic, step-by-step roadmap for your VA claim and the confidence of knowing what you’re doing and why.
