When your records are silent, the "Buddy" speaks. Many valid VA claims are denied simply because a service treatment record is missing or incomplete. A professionally drafted Lay Statement (VA Form 21-10210) is the "Tactical Bridge" that connects your current symptoms to the specific events, injuries, or stressors of your service.
A Buddy Statement isn't just a letter from a friend—it is a sworn statement that must be clear, credible, and chronologically sound. As a veteran-led team, we understand how to translate "military life" into "VA language." We help your fellow soldiers, spouses, or family members articulate exactly what they witnessed, ensuring their testimony carries the maximum weight possible.
We don't provide "fill-in-the-blank" forms. We work with you and your witnesses to craft a narrative that the VA cannot ignore. Our process includes:
Identifying the "Bridge": We pinpoint the exact dates or events where your medical records lack detail and use lay evidence to fill those gaps.
Corroborating the Mission: We ensure the statement aligns perfectly with your service history and current medical diagnosis, preventing "conflicting evidence" flags.
Refining the Narrative: We help witnesses focus on observable facts (changes in behavior, physical limitations, or specific incidents) that VA raters look for.
The Husband-Wife Synergy: While our clinical lead ensures the medical side is covered, our veteran lead ensures your story is told with the authenticity only another vet can provide.
Missing Records: Veterans whose STRs were lost, destroyed, or never recorded.
Secondary Conditions: Spouses who can testify to how a condition (like PTSD or Sleep Apnea) affects daily life.
Combat/Training Injuries: Fellow service members who witnessed a specific event or "onset" of a condition.
Your story is the evidence. We help you tell it with precision.
