Your Service · Your Story · On the Record

Some men carry their proof
in a filing cabinet.
Most carry it in their memory.

Vetrospect walks you through remembering, organizing, and writing down what happened during your service — one question at a time — until your story becomes a clean, printed Evidence Binder for your own VA claim — whether it's your first claim, an increase, or an appeal.

I built this helping my 69-year-old father remember his service — where he was stationed, what his hands touched, who bunked beside him. A blank form pulled nothing out of him. The right questions, asked one at a time, pulled out everything.

The Method

An interview, not a form.

I.

Bring what you have

Your DD214, your VA Blue Button file, the shoebox of old papers — or nothing but your memory. Vetrospect walks you through it, box by box, question by question.

II.

Answer like you're talking to a buddy

Large YES · NO · DON'T REMEMBER buttons — and "don't remember" is never a dead end. It opens memory joggers: Do you remember the smell of burning plastic? Who bunked next to you?

III.

Print your Evidence Binder

Your story, your words, your records — organized into a document you can hold. Use it while filing your own claim, or hand it to a free Veterans Service Officer.

What's Inside

Question sets matched to your service.

Suggested automatically from where and when you served — like chapters in a workbook written for your war, not somebody else's.

Exposure Debriefs

Burn Pits & Airborne Hazards · Herbicide & Agent Orange · Camp Lejeune Water · Gulf War Illness · Radiation · Fuels, Foam & Solvents

Health-Story Debriefs

Hearing & Tinnitus · Joints, Back & What Followed · Sleep & Breathing at Night · Cancer & Serious Illness

The Health Timeline

Your health, year by year, from the day you left service to today — the backbone of the Binder.

The Buddy Statement Kit

Printable question packets for the people who were there. They write what they saw, in their own words.

The Records Checklist

Which records exist, exactly how to request each one — with word-for-word phone scripts — and a tracker so nothing slips.

The Evidence Binder

Everything above, organized into one clean, printed document. Your story, on the record.

Your story never leaves your device.

Every answer is stored on your device only — like photographs in your own album. No account. No cloud. No database of veterans' medical stories on somebody's server.

We never see your answers. We couldn't read them if we wanted to. The only thing we ever know is that somebody bought the software.

The Handoff

Built to be handed to your VSO.

Every county in America has VA-accredited Veterans Service Officers who help veterans file claims — free of charge, by law. The catch: they're busy, and a veteran who walks in with a shoebox of loose memories takes hours they don't have.

Vetrospect is built for that handoff. You do your debrief at home, at your own pace. Then you walk into your VSO's office with everything in one place — your story organized, your timeline laid out, your records requested, your witnesses listed — and their help gets faster, sharper, and easier to give.

You bring the story. They know the paperwork. That's the whole system working the way it should.

Find your local VSO: va.gov/get-help-from-accredited-representative — or prefer to file yourself at va.gov? The Binder works the same way.

Pricing

One honest price. You own it.

No percentage of your benefits. No monthly bleed. No "five times your increase."

Straight Talk

What Vetrospect is — and is not.

Vetrospect is self-help educational software.

We are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. We are not attorneys, accredited claims agents, or Veterans Service Officers. We do not prepare, present, or file VA claims — and no one here ever sees your answers or your claim.

You use Vetrospect to organize your own information, in your own words, for your own use. It is not legal or medical advice, and no outcome is promised or implied. Ever.

Free claims help exists, and you should know it. Every veteran can get free, accredited help from a Veterans Service Officer — find one at va.gov/get-help-from-accredited-representative. Vetrospect works with that help: a VSO's job gets easier when a veteran walks in organized.

— That's the whole arrangement, plainly stated.

Common Questions

Questions veterans ask.

Is this one of those companies that takes a cut of my benefits?

No — and walk away from anyone who does. Vetrospect is a flat-price software product: free to start, $19.99 once for everything. We never charge a percentage of anything, and we never touch your claim. You do your claim; this helps you get organized for it.

Will this file my claim for me?

No. Only you — or a VA-accredited representative — can file your claim. Vetrospect helps you build the organized story and records checklist you bring to that filing. Think of it as the world's most patient notetaker, not a filer.

I'm not good with technology. Can I actually use this?

It was built so a man in his eighties could run it on an old phone. One question per screen, big buttons, big type, no accounts, no passwords. If you can answer YES, NO, or I DON'T REMEMBER, you can use Vetrospect. Talk-to-text works well for the longer answers.

What happens to what I type?

It stays on your device. There is no account and no server holding your story. You can download a backup file to keep or move to another device — that file is yours too.

What if I already have a VSO?

Even better. Do your debrief, print your Binder, and bring it to your VSO — an organized veteran makes their help faster and better.

What if it's not for me?

That's what the free tier is for — try it first, seriously. If you unlock the full toolkit, everything you print and every backup file you download is yours to keep, no matter what.
