FOR SERVICE MEMBERS 6 TO 12 MONTHS FROM SEPARATION
BDD Blueprint is the step-by-step plan for the Benefits Delivery at Discharge program. Get your records, symptoms, and Separation Health Assessment ready on time, file inside the 180-to-90-day window, and give yourself the chance at a decision soon after you separate.
Built by a 100% P&T Army veteran. Education only. You file your own claim or use free accredited help.
BDD claims can only be filed 180 to 90 days before separation, and you must be available for VA exams for 45 days after filing. The work that makes a claim strong, like records and documented care, takes months. Start early and the window is easy. Start late and it closes.
A dated countdown from your separation date so you know exactly what to do at 180, 120, and 90 days.
Get your records, get real symptoms evaluated, and line up buddy statements before your unit scatters.
Know what happens after discharge: effective date, pay, dependents, VA health care, and what to do if something is denied.
Which path fits you (BDD, standard claim, or IDES), your Action Board, and how to use free on-base help.
Build your 180-to-90-day calendar, plus overseas, Guard/Reserve, and changed-date scenarios.
Service treatment records, getting seen before you get out, buddy statements, and a secure claim folder.
SHA Part A walkthrough, what happens at the clinical exam, and questions to resolve before filing.
Toxic exposure and the PACT Act, mental health concerns, and retirees: CRDP and CRSC explained.
Filing on VA.gov or with an accredited representative, the submission-day checklist, and what to watch for after.
The 45-day exam plan, your DD214 and address handoff, and the month after discharge.
Master checklist, message templates for records offices and schedulers, and the official source library.
WHY I BUILT THIS
When I left the Army, I didn't know BDD existed. I spent the next three years chasing records, dealing with denials, and learning the VA system the hard way before I reached 100% Permanent & Total.
Most of that fight could have been avoided with a plan in the last six months of service. BDD Blueprint is that plan: what to do, when to do it, and where to get free help, so you can file on time and start your next chapter with your benefits in motion.

VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization representatives work on or near most installations and file BDD claims for free. This course doesn't replace them. It makes you ready for them: separation date confirmed, records requested, SHA Part A done, and your real concerns organized, so a 45-minute appointment actually gets your claim filed.
We never take a cut of your back pay, and we never file claims for you.
Launch pricing for a limited time. Pay once or in 3 payments, with lifetime access and updates when VA's rules change.
Limited-time launch price (regular $147)
Service members on full-time active duty, including eligible Guard, Reserve, and Coast Guard members, who expect to separate or retire in the next 3 to 12 months. It's most useful when you start 6 or more months out, but the course also covers what to do if you have fewer than 90 days left.
No. BDD Blueprint is education. You file your own claim on VA.gov or with a free VA-accredited representative. We don't review personal records, choose conditions for you, or represent anyone before the VA.
No one honestly can. The VA decides every claim on its own evidence. BDD is designed to speed things up, but it doesn't promise a grant or a specific date. What the course gives you is a plan to file on time with your records in order.
Yes. There's a dedicated lesson on how VA compensation interacts with military retired pay, including CRDP and CRSC basics, so you know what questions to take to DFAS and your branch.
You can't use BDD, but you can still file a pre-discharge claim. The course shows the alternative path so you don't lose time.
If the course isn't right for you, request a refund within 14 days of purchase under our refund policy.
