How to Write a Winning VA Buddy Letter with the New VA Form 21-10210 – Lay & Witness Statement...

FINAL-FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN SHARE OF THE DAY

Hi Veterans, Brian Reese here from VA Claims Insider, and in this post, I’ll be breaking-down the brand-new VA Form 21 10210 – Lay & Witness Statement (aka, “VA Buddy Letter”) to help support your VA disability compensation claim.

The VA recently launched a new standardized VA Buddy Letter form to be written by a spouse, co-worker, boss, or fellow service member to help you prove your disability condition before the VA.

Using the new VA Form 21 10210, I created a free fillable Buddy Letter example template for you to download and tailor for your use:

You can still use the VA Form 21-4138 Statement in Support of a Claim, but you might want to give the new form a try—it’s a better flow and makes more sense for the buddy writing the statement in your behalf.

I’ve written before about the power of a competent and credible VA Buddy Letter to help you prove your in-service injury or incident to get your VA disability conditions service connected.

Simply put, a competent and credible Lay & Witness statement, especially from a first-hand witness, can be the difference between winning and losing your VA disability claim…
