About

Built by a veteran.
For veterans.

Free forever. No ads. No commissions. No BS.

Why This Site Exists

The VA benefits system is deliberately fragmented. Federal benefits live on VA.gov. State benefits are buried across 50 different agency websites — each with their own eligibility rules, their own application forms, their own buried pages that look like they have not been updated since 2003.

No single tool connects a veteran's disability rating to a complete picture of everything they have actually earned. That means billions of dollars in benefits go unclaimed every year — not because veterans do not deserve them, but because nobody told them, and nobody built the tool that should have existed decades ago.

I built RatedVets.org to fix that. I am a veteran with a service-connected disability. I went through the same frustrating process of discovering — often years late — that I was leaving benefits on the table. I did not want that for my brothers and sisters.

So I built the tool I wished existed when I got out.

What This Site Is

  • A Benefits Finder that filters 1,700+ federal and state benefits to your exact profile
  • A VA Combined Rating Calculator that shows you the math
  • A State Comparison Tool for veterans thinking about relocating
  • Plain-language guides on ratings, TDIU, SMC, and survivor benefits

What This Site Is Not

  • Affiliated with the VA or any government agency
  • Selling anything or taking commissions
  • Running ads or using your data for marketing
  • A substitute for legal or claims assistance

Benefits information is kept as current as possible, but eligibility rules change. Always verify through official VA and state sources before relying on benefit eligibility.
