Free AI Personal Statement Generator for Veterans.Your Story, Structured for the VA.
The VA needs to know how your condition affects your daily life. Our AI turns your answers into a structured personal statement — no doctor needed, no appointment required. Just your story, formatted the way the VA expects it.
What Is a VA Personal Statement?
A personal statement is your own written account of how a disability affects your daily life. It tells the VA what medical records can't — how you actually live with your condition every day. Unlike a nexus letter, it doesn't require a doctor's signature. Our AI personal statement writer builds yours in minutes.
When You Need a Personal Statement
- Initial claims — describing how your condition affects your daily life for the first time
- Rating increases — documenting how your condition has worsened since your last rating
- Supplemental claims — providing new evidence after a denial with a stronger personal account
- Secondary conditions — explaining how a service-connected condition has caused or worsened another condition

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question not listed here? Reach out to us
What is a personal statement for a VA claim?
A personal statement (also called a Statement in Support of Claim or VA Form 21-4138) is a written document from you—the veteran—describing how your disability affects your daily life. It covers impacts on work, sleep, relationships, physical activity, and mental health. It's one of the most important pieces of evidence in your claim because it tells the VA what the medical records alone can't: how you actually live with your condition every day.
Does my personal statement need a doctor's signature?
No. Unlike a nexus letter, a personal statement comes directly from you and does not require a healthcare provider's signature. It's your firsthand account of how your condition affects your life. You write it (or generate it with VeteranAI), sign it yourself, and submit it with your claim.
What should I include in my personal statement?
A strong personal statement should describe: how your condition affects your daily activities (work, chores, driving, personal care), the severity and frequency of your symptoms, how your condition has changed or worsened over time, the impact on your relationships and social life, any medications or treatments and their side effects, and specific examples of bad days or flare-ups. VeteranAI guides you through each of these areas so nothing gets missed.
When do I need a personal statement?
Personal statements are valuable for almost every VA claim type: initial claims, rating increases, supplemental claims after a denial, and secondary condition claims. The VA uses your personal statement to understand the real-world impact of your disability—something that medical records and exam results alone don't always capture.
What's the difference between a personal statement and a nexus letter?
A personal statement is your own account of how a condition affects your daily life—it comes from you and doesn't need a doctor's signature. A nexus letter is a medical opinion from a licensed healthcare provider that connects your condition to military service using medical evidence. Both are important, but they serve different purposes: the personal statement shows impact, the nexus letter shows causation.
