Your Next Mission Starts Here

Life Change is more than a name—it’s what we deliver. Whether you’re retiring, separating, or facing uncertainty, we are committed to your success in the civilian world. We honor your service by engineering a future of dignity, stability, and opportunity—for you and your family.

Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD): Start Your Claim Early with Confidence

Leaving the Military Soon?
If you’re within 9 months of discharge, it’s time to begin building your VA Disability Claim the right way—with Life Change’s engineered process.

The Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program allows active-duty service members to submit their claim between 180 and 90 days before separation, giving them the opportunity to receive their rating and benefits much sooner after transition.

But at LC, we don’t wait for the 180-day mark.
We begin claim construction at 270 days out—giving our Veterans a major strategic advantage.

How LC’s Engineered Process Sets You Up for BDD Success

Our methodical, data-driven approach means your claim isn’t just submitted—it’s engineered for success:

✅ We identify actual, diagnosable conditions the VA recognizes

✅ We use a “physics model” of evidence—ensuring all documentation aligns and supports the claim like a well-built machine

✅ We structure your medical records, nexus letters, buddy statements, and VA forms in a cohesive system

✅ We optimize timing and sequencing so nothing is rushed or missed

✅ We focus on outcomes—not just processing claims, but maximizing your rating

“At LC, we engineer every claim with precision so Veterans get the right rating the first time—because that’s what they’ve earned.” – Thomas Barr, Founder

Presumptive Disabilities: Know What You’ve Earned Before You File

One of the biggest advantages of starting early is identifying presumptive conditions tied to your unique military history. These are disabilities the VA already presumes are service-connected if you meet certain criteria—meaning less evidence is required and higher chances of approval.

Our consultants use your:

  • Branch of Service

  • MOS / AFSC / RATE

  • Deployment Location

  • Unit Type (e.g., Special Forces, Aviation, Shipboard, Combat Arms)

  • Known Exposure Risks (e.g., Burn Pits, Agent Orange, JP8 Jet Fuel)

…to build a Presumptive Profile before you even hit the BDD window.

Examples include:

  • Infantry Marines & Soldiers: Orthopedic injuries, PTSD, tinnitus

  • Aviation Techs & Mechanics: Hearing loss, chemical exposure

  • Sailors: Back, knee, and shoulder issues from shipboard duty

  • Combat Deployments: Burn pit-related respiratory conditions under the PACT Act

  • Vietnam-era Veterans: Agent Orange-related presumptives like ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and cancers

By starting early, we have time to:

  • Crosswalk your duty assignments with VA presumptive lists

  • Gather supporting evidence and medical opinions

  • Strategically prepare for primary and secondary claims

  • Optimize your claim structure to align with VA rating criteria

Take Control of Your Transition

Don’t wait until it’s too late to build your claim. Start now—at 9 months out—and enter the BDD window with everything ready for submission.

Let Life Change guide you through the most important transition of your military career—with confidence, precision, and results.
