VA Companion

About

VA Companion is an independent browser extension that helps veterans view VA.gov claim and appeal status information in a cleaner, easier-to-read dashboard.

When you are signed in to VA.gov and open a supported claim or appeal page, VA Companion reads the claim status data already loaded in your browser and displays it locally in either a popup or side panel view.

Features:
- Popup or side panel dashboard mode
- Cleaner claim progress and evidence review timeline
- Claim details such as current phase, phase dates, jurisdiction, documents needed, and decision letter status
- Support for VA.gov claim and appeal/decision review data
- Quick links to VA claim letters, VA profile, payment history, VA Companion website, and desktop app
- Copy redacted summary feature
- Claim IDs hidden by default
- Local browser storage with clear data controls

Privacy:
VA Companion stores captured claim data locally in your browser extension storage. Claim data is not sent to VA Companion servers. The extension does not collect VA.gov usernames, passwords, SSNs, or payment information.
