calculate_combined_rating | Use this when a veteran has two or more VA disability rating percentages and wants the combined rating. It reports what 38 CFR 4.25 and 4.26 yield for the percentages supplied, not what VA has assigned, and it does not evaluate special monthly compensation. Applies the 38 CFR 4.25 Combined Ratings Table procedure: pairwise combination in severity order, whole-percent rounding after each step, then params: ratings*, bilateral |
compare_rating_criteria | Use this when a veteran names a VA diagnostic code and wants the rating criteria for it. It is not a lookup of what a rating pays and it does not combine ratings. Returns the VASRD criteria on file for that code (a code, not a condition name) at every tier, highest percentage first, with the condition name, body system and 38 CFR reference. A code that 38 CFR 4.71a, 4.73 or 4.124a rates in two col params: diagnosticCode* |
analyze_rating_gap | Use this when a veteran gives a condition name and the VA disability percentage currently assigned for it, and wants that percentage compared against the VASRD criteria. It describes what the criteria require; only VA decides a rating. Returns the tier that matches the current percentage, the next tier above it, and every higher tier on file for that condition, with the criteria each one requires. params: conditionName*, currentPercent* |
calculate_rolling_window | Use this when a veteran supplies dates of incapacitating episodes and the question involves the 38 CFR 4.71a formula VA uses to rate intervertebral disc syndrome on incapacitating episodes, diagnostic code 5243. The tier it reports is an estimate from the episodes supplied, and it does not decide FMLA entitlement or apply to conditions rated outside diagnostic code 5243. Totals the calendar durati params: absencePeriods*, referenceDate |
find_secondary_conditions | Use this when a veteran names a VA service-connected condition and asks what other conditions can follow from it. It does not diagnose, establish that a particular veteran's condition is secondary, or supply the medical nexus opinion a secondary claim needs. Returns the records whose own primary condition is the one searched for, each with evidence strength, medical rationale, key studies, filing params: primaryCondition*, limit, offset |
check_presumptive_eligibility | Use this when a veteran asks whether VA treats a condition as presumptively service connected, or which conditions are presumptive for a given exposure or service era. Whether a particular veteran meets the service requirement depends on service records this tool does not read. Returns matching presumptive conditions with the service era, exposure type, required service, legal authority and eviden params: condition, serviceEra, exposureType |
search_legal_authority | Use this when a veteran's question needs VA regulations, legal standards or case law by keyword, citation or diagnostic code. It does not read a claim, predict a decision or give legal advice. Returns 38 CFR rating criteria, verbatim doctrine (pinpoints, capture and effective dates, reviewed holdings) and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) excerpts (docket, case name, relevance); preceden params: query, citation, diagnosticCode, limit |
prepare_cp_exam | Use this when a veteran has a VA compensation and pension examination scheduled for a condition and wants to know what it involves. It does not schedule, reschedule or contact VA, and the examiner's findings and VA decide the rating. Returns the examination type and typical length, what the examiner does, the questions examiners commonly ask, the Disability Benefits Questionnaire sections that app params: condition*, currentRating |
lookup_compensation_rate | Use this when a veteran wants the monthly VA disability compensation amount for a given rating percentage and dependent situation. It gives the published rate for that combination, not what a specific veteran is paid, and it is not a back-pay calculation for a past period. Returns the monthly and annual amounts from the VA compensation rate table in effect, with the rate year and effective date. T params: rating*, hasSpouse, childrenCount |
compute_retroactive_pay | Use this when a veteran gives an effective date and a VA rating increase and asks what the retroactive amount would be. It does not set an effective date and it does not report an amount VA has authorized. Returns an estimate of the difference in monthly compensation for each month of the period, with a per-month breakdown, the assumptions behind it, and its own disclaimer. Under 38 CFR 3.31 payme params: effectiveDate*, fromRating*, toRating*, hasSpouse*, dependentCount*, isTdiu, adjudicationDate |
find_claim_help | Use this when a veteran asks who can help with a VA disability claim, or describes a crisis. VeteranHQ does not prepare or file claims or forms, and only VA decides a claim. need crisis puts the full Veterans Crisis Line first and alone returns crisis content; urgent true tops routeNow with the first action, crisis routing unchanged. Results list accredited Veterans Service Organizations (free), a params: need*, state, urgent, askedFor |
search_guides | Use this when a veteran asks about a VA topic VeteranHQ has written a guide on. It searches only the VeteranHQ guide library and reads no account data, so the answer is the same for every caller with the same inputs. Returns the guides whose text matches the query, highest scoring first, each carrying the guide slug, title, summary and public URL, and no body text. The ordering is lexical and dete params: query*, limit |
get_guide | Use this when a veteran needs what a VeteranHQ guide on a VA topic says, given a slug from search_guides. A guide states the rules as VeteranHQ read them from the cited sources on the date it reports, and only VA decides a claim. Returns the slug, title and summary, the date the facts in it were last verified against its sources, the public URL of the guide on veteranhq.app, the body split into th params: slug* |
find_veteran_benefits | Use this when a veteran asks what VA benefits they may qualify for. It returns programs to check, not an eligibility decision: only VA decides who qualifies for a VA benefit, and the agency that runs any other program listed decides for that one. The inputs are the veteran's circumstances as fixed choices, every one optional: service status, combined VA rating or no rating, whether compensation is params: service, rating, compensation, spouse, spouseOnAward, awardAlone, smc, tdiu, permanentTotal, temporaryTotal, family, tricare, vaCare, trip, loan, honorable, skipped |
