** What’s the VA intent to file process? **  If you’re not ready to file a claim yet, the VA intent to file process gives you more time to prepare and collect supportive evidence for your claim. It also protects the earliest possible effective date for any benefits resulting from your claim. That means that the effective date of benefits is when the VA receives your intent to file form.  Once you’ve submitted your intent to file, you can begin to gather the information needed for your claim, for up to one year from your intent to file effective date.

You can do that online, by phone, or in writing.  Intent to File VA Claim Online Go to www.ebenefits.va.gov to register or log in, and initiate a claim: Complete the personal information page and hit “save” to establish your effective date (you’ll have one year to complete your application from this date)
