About Patriot Aid

Patriot Aid was born from frustration: confusing paperwork, rushed exams, and veterans being underrated for conditions that impact their lives every single day.

We’ve both been there—sitting across from an examiner who doesn’t really understand what chronic pain feels like on your worst days, or what it actually means to try to sleep through nightmares, breathing issues, and constant hyper-vigilance.

After going through our own VA disability journeys, we realized something important: most veterans are not “broken” or “weak.” They’re under-documented, under-explained, and under-represented in a system that speaks its own language.

Patriot Aid exists to translate your real-life experience into clear, organized information the VA can work with—so your rating better reflects your reality.
