Find supporting pages in VA records for a disability claim
A veteran used Gemini to scan about 9,000 pages of VA records and pinpoint the pages and dates supporting their claim, which was decided in about a month. ·
Done withGemini
- What they did
- The veteran downloaded Blue Button records from va.gov, uploaded about 9,000 pages to Google Gemini, and asked it to scan the file and identify what they could claim. Gemini surfaced the exact pages, treatment dates, and examples such as chiropractor visits, which the veteran then used when filing instead of manually searching the records.
- How it went
- They say their own claim was decided in about one month from filing to decision letter, and that they helped another veteran reach a 70% rating in two months using the same approach. The main drawback they mention is privacy and trust: some older vets did not want to share their records with AI.
- Worth knowing
- The practical catch is handling very large records; commenters pointed out Gemini’s large context window as useful for this, but the post gives no cost details.
Try it yourself with Gemini
I'm attaching my medical and service records, about [number] pages, for my [type] claim. Find every page that supports [specific condition or claim point], and list for each one the page number, date, and a short quote showing why it matters. Group them by condition and flag any gaps or conflicting entries. Finish with a one-page summary I can check against the originals.
