A buddy letter is simply a credible statement in support of a claim, written by a competent individual 18 years of age or older, who has direct, first-hand knowledge of an event or injury, and offers an account of what they witnessed or are witnessing in support of a veterans VA disability claim. 

These personal statements can be from a fellow service member, spouse, friend, pastor, co-worker, boss, adult child, or any other competent and credible witness. A buddy letter can be the linchpin to winning your VA disability claim.

A VA buddy statement constitutes “lay evidence” under the law, which simply means “after the fact” evidence. The Rating Veteran Service Representative (RVSR) at the VA MUST consider a buddy letter because it’s considered a secondary source of evidence in support of your VA disability claim. 

When writing or obtaining a buddy letter in support of a veterans VA disability claim, you can simply use the VA Form 21-4138, Statement in Support of a Claim.

The VA Form 21-4138, official .pdf form is still the PREFERRED method of any personal statements according to VA Rating Officials. A great VA buddy letter is short and sweet. Think less is more.  

VA Raters are very busy people, so you want to give them the exact information they need, at the moment they need it to help support a Veterans VA disability claim.  

In 3-4 paragraphs, you should explain (1) your name, information, and how you know the veteran. (2) what you witnessed or are witnessing, (3) the veterans’ current symptoms of the disability, and (4) sign and date your name to the best of your knowledge and belief.  

Please reach out to us at VA Claims Insider, and we’ll get you the VA disability rating and compensation YOU deserve.
