The Problem
Most VA claims are denied or underrated — not because veterans lack eligibility, but because the process is broken.
Missing or Weak Evidence
Claims are denied when the evidence doesn’t clearly link a condition to service. Without the right medical records, nexus letters, and buddy statements, even legitimate claims get underrated.
Confusing Rating Criteria
The VA’s rating schedule is dense, technical, and hard to interpret. Most veterans don’t know what level of evidence matches which rating percentage.
No Structured Process
Veterans often file without a plan — missing secondary conditions, skipping C&P exam prep, or submitting incomplete packets. The process rewards preparation.
The Claims Navigator
A structured 5-phase journey from research to decision
The Claims Navigator guides you through every stage of the VA disability claims process — from identifying your conditions to tracking your decision. Each phase builds on the last.

What veterans say about Legatus
AV“I filed my first claim without any guidance and felt completely lost. After using Legatus to understand the rating criteria and organize my evidence, I felt so much more prepared going into my supplemental claim.”
Marine veteran, FloridaMV“The nexus letter evaluator helped me spot three elements my doctor’s letter was missing. I got it corrected before submitting and felt confident the letter was thorough.”
VSO representative, CaliforniaVR“We started using Legatus for our office and it cut our average case prep time in half. The structured workflow keeps our team consistent across hundreds of cases.”
These are individual experiences. VA rating decisions depend on many factors including service history, medical evidence, and VA assessor discretion. Legatus provides educational tools to help with claim preparation — individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
