The Purpose of Lay Statements in VA Disability Claims

Category:

Lay statements help describe what a veteran—or someone who knows the veteran—personally observed. In this Flash Training, you'll learn what lay statements are, what they can help establish, and how they fit alongside medical evidence in the VA disability evaluation process.
