Get help with your VA claim from an accredited representative.
Azimuth simplifies the VA disability claims process by connecting U.S. military veterans with VA-accredited representatives through a secure technology platform. The platform organizes intake, evidence, C&P exam preparation, tracking, and appeals, from first intake to final decision.
Accredited attorney, claims agent, or VSO?
Azimuth is an independent technology platform. We do not provide legal advice or act as a VA-accredited representative.

Azimuth never charges veterans for using its platform.
You Decide
You Control Access to Your Records
Your representative opens your records only under a records-sharing consent that names them, and you can revoke it at any time.
The hard part is rarely whether you qualify.
Most veterans don't lose benefits because they aren't eligible. They lose them to a process that never explains itself.

Are you an accredited representative?
Create your account. VA-accredited attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives.
Look up any representative. Publicly.
Representatives on Azimuth must be VA-accredited. We check each representative against the VA Office of the General Counsel accreditation list when they join and re-check it regularly. Accreditation can change between checks, and you can confirm anyone's status on VA's accreditation search. Each representative's fee disclosure is on their profile.
Your claim journey, connected end to end.
You upload your records once. When a representative is available in your state, an accredited representative can review them: a VA-accredited VSO service officer, attorney, or claims agent. We can't promise a match.
Guided Digital Intake
Two ways to begin: a 5-minute smart questionnaire, or one upload of everything you have.
Your answers and uploads saved to one encrypted case file.

Our Profits. Our Commitment to Veterans.
Azimuth was built with a commitment to serve those who have served. Through the Azimuth Foundation, we dedicate 8% of our annual profits to supporting veterans, service members, their families, and the organizations that serve them.
This is not an aspirational goal. It is a firm commitment built into how Azimuth operates.
How the 8% Commitment Works
Each year, Azimuth commits 8% of its applicable pre-tax profits to the Azimuth Foundation.
The calculation is based on our ongoing operating profitability and is made before the Foundation allocation itself is deducted. Prior-year losses are taken into account, and extraordinary or one-time gains — including proceeds from a sale of the company or similar exit transaction — are excluded.
We estimate and set aside the Foundation’s allocation throughout the year, with a final calculation following completion of our annual financial statements.
Once funds are committed to the Azimuth Foundation, they remain dedicated to its mission.
How the Funds Are Managed
The Azimuth Foundation is a charitable initiative of Azimuth LLC, rather than a separate legal entity or private foundation.
Funds committed to the initiative are maintained in a separate Azimuth-owned account dedicated to charitable giving.
An Independent Grants Advisor is appointed to identify needs, evaluate opportunities, and direct distributions consistent with the Foundation’s mission.
The Advisor makes good-faith grant decisions independently. Azimuth retains appropriate oversight to ensure that funds are used lawfully, responsibly, and consistently with the Foundation’s mission.
Who We Support
The Azimuth Foundation can provide support both directly to veterans and military families in need and to organizations and programs that serve the veteran and military community.
Our focus may include areas such as healthcare and rehabilitation; mental health and wellness; housing and essential needs; education and training; employment and economic opportunity; assistance for military families and caregivers; and other needs that can meaningfully improve the lives of those who have served.
An Independent Approach to Giving
We believe meaningful philanthropy requires more than simply setting aside money.
Our Independent Grants Advisor is empowered to identify where Foundation resources can have the greatest impact and to direct grants consistent with the Foundation’s mission.
Azimuth does not intend to interfere with good-faith grant decisions made within that mandate. At the same time, Azimuth maintains appropriate safeguards to ensure that Foundation resources are used legally, responsibly, and for their intended charitable purpose.
A Commitment That Endures
Our 8% commitment is designed to endure alongside the business.
If financial circumstances ever require Azimuth to temporarily defer part of an amount due, the commitment does not disappear. The deferred amount remains committed to the Azimuth Foundation and is funded when Azimuth’s finances permit.
Next: Fund management
The Azimuth Foundation reflects a simple principle at the heart of our company:
As Azimuth succeeds, the veteran community shares in that success.
Partner with the people already doing this work.
VSOs, law firms, nonprofits, foundations, and private companies. No cost to explore.
VSOs & accredited organizations
- Veterans matched to your representatives
- A compliance-first workspace for your service officers
Law firms & accredited practitioners
- Case flow matched to your practice areas and capacity
- Case tooling built for accredited practice
Nonprofits & foundations
- Referrals both ways — veterans need more than claims help
- Support for organizations and programs that serve the veteran and military community
Private companies
- Giving that is structural, not seasonal
- Co-branded initiatives built around veteran outcomes
Support for the Foundation is welcome but never expected, and it buys no preference in matching.
A first conversation commits you to nothing.
Questions, answered.
Clear information about accreditation, the claims process, fees, and how Azimuth works.
Azimuth is an independent technology platform that connects veterans with VA-accredited representatives. It organizes intake, representative matching, evidence, secure communication, claim tracking, and appeals support into one connected case record. Azimuth is developed and operated by Azimuth, LLC and is not the Department of Veterans Affairs, a law firm, a healthcare provider, or a government agency.
Azimuth is a secure technology platform connecting veterans with VA-accredited representatives. You upload your records once. When a representative is available in your state, an accredited representative can review them: a VA-accredited VSO service officer, attorney, or claims agent. We can't promise a match. You see who they are and what they charge, and nothing is final until you confirm. The one you appoint then manages your evidence, paperwork, C&P exam prep, and appeals through our unified portal.
No. Azimuth is an independent technology platform developed by Azimuth, LLC. We are not the Department of Veterans Affairs, not a law firm, and not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by VA. We build the software. The representation itself is provided by independent VA-accredited attorneys, claims agents, and Veterans Service Organization representatives, who are accountable to VA's Office of General Counsel — not to us. Azimuth does not prepare, present, or prosecute claims, and does not give legal or medical advice.
VA recognizes only one power of attorney at a time, so appointing a new representative replaces your current one. If you already have a representative you are happy with, you do not need to change anything — and if you are unsure, talk to your current representative first. Azimuth will not change your representation without you signing a new appointment form yourself.

Funds committed to the initiative are maintained in a separate Azimuth-owned account dedicated to charitable giving. An Independent Grants Advisor is appointed to identify needs, evaluate opportunities, and direct distributions consistent with the Foundation’s mission. The Azimuth Foundation can provide support both directly to veterans and military families in need and to organizations and programs that serve the veteran and military community.
An attorney, claims agent, or VSO representative formally recognized by VA under 38 CFR §14.629 and authorized to prepare, present, and prosecute claims on a veteran's behalf.
You can check for yourself, independently of us. VA's Office of General Counsel publishes a public accreditation search at va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation. We check each representative against the VA Office of the General Counsel accreditation list when they join and re-check it regularly — accreditation can be suspended or canceled, and a representative who was accredited last year may not be today. Anyone who does not appear in that registry cannot lawfully hold your power of attorney or prosecute your claim.
It depends on who represents you. Accredited attorneys and claims agents are appointed as individuals, so you work with that specific person. Veterans Service Organizations are appointed as an organization, so any of their accredited representatives can act on your claim — that is how VA's rules work, and it means your case does not stall if one person leaves. Either way, Azimuth logs every access to your file individually, so ‘who has seen my records’ always has a precise answer.
We match you with a VA-accredited representative who serves your state and claim type. How long that takes varies. You see who they are and what they charge, and nothing is final until you confirm. Once you confirm, they reach out through Azimuth's secure messaging or by phone to start your power of attorney (VA Form 21-22 or 21-22a) and review your claim file.
Yes. Azimuth includes a live eight-stage claim dashboard that updates as your file moves forward, from intake through evidence, VA review, and decision. You always know where things stand without calling a hotline.
Azimuth never charges veterans for using its platform. We are paid by the accredited representatives and organizations who use our platform, not by veterans. Your representative's fees are governed separately by federal law, and the rules differ by representative type. VSO representatives may never charge you a fee, at any stage of a claim or appeal. Accredited attorneys and claims agents may not charge anything for an initial claim; a fee only becomes permissible after VA issues its initial decision and you pursue a decision review or appeal. When a fee does apply, it is capped and disclosed in writing before you agree to anything — fees of 20% or less of past-due benefits are presumed reasonable, and VA's Office of General Counsel can review and reduce any fee. Azimuth receives no portion of any representative fee.
If VA denies your claim or assigns a rating lower than your medical evidence supports, your representative reviews the decision letter with you and starts the right decision-review option: a Higher-Level Review, a Supplemental Claim, or a Board Appeal. If a rated condition has worsened, your representative can file a claim for an increased rating instead.
Create an account and record your VA accreditation. We check your OGC number against the VA OGC accreditation list, and a member of our team reviews every request. Attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives are all eligible. Your organization can also work as a team, with shared caseload visibility for administrators.
No. Azimuth never files anything with VA on its own. You remain the accredited representative of record, you make every judgment call, and you file — either through your own workflow or, where supported, from the platform under the power of attorney the veteran signed. Azimuth organizes evidence, tracks deadlines, and handles the paperwork around your work. It does not do your work.
Administrators see the firm-wide caseload and can reassign cases, and every reassignment is logged. Individual members see only the cases assigned to them. A veteran's uploaded records are not visible to administrators by default: records-sharing consent names the assigned representative personally, or their organization if the veteran chooses that.
