# DBQprep

> Free, private prep for VA disability claims: C&P exam interviews for 19 conditions, a VA math calculator that shows its work, and a step-by-step roadmap from sick call to survivor benefits. Built by a combat vet. Not VA. Not a VSO. DBQprep prepares veterans for the exam; VA makes every decision.

Educational information, not legal or medical advice. Interview answers stay in the visitor's browser. Charging a veteran for help filing an initial VA claim is illegal; DBQprep is free.

## Roadmap

- [DBQprep roadmap](https://dbqprep.org/): Step-by-step roadmap from sick call to survivor benefits, with C&P exam prep interviews. Step 13 lists state benefits for all 50 states with official links.

## Tools

- [VA Math](https://dbqprep.org/va-math): VA disability calculator that shows its math. Combines per 38 CFR 4.25 Table I stepwise math; bilateral per 4.26 combines both sides first and adds 10% of that subtotal before rounding and combining.
- [VR&E first-meeting prep](https://dbqprep.org/vre): Organize the true facts before a VR&E (Chapter 31) initial evaluation.

## Doors

- [Homeless definitions](https://dbqprep.org/homeless-definitions): Which definition of homeless fits your situation — literal, imminent risk, doubled up, fleeing violence — decides which VA or HUD door opens: SSVF, HUD-VASH, HCHV, Grant and Per Diem.

- [Housing](https://dbqprep.org/housing): VA home loan, SAH and SHA adaptation grants route finder.
- [Denied?](https://dbqprep.org/denied): A denial is a reason, printed in the letter. Three questions sort the reason — error on the record, a paper gap, or a number that is too low — and show the door that fits it.
