Benefits Delivery at Discharge Pre-Discharge Disability Claim
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Pre-discharge disability claim process for eligible service members 180 to 90 days before separation.
How to get help
A U.S.-stationed applicant files online or with a VA-accredited representative and submits the Separation Health Assessment Part A Self-Assessment. An overseas applicant may start at a BDD office, file online, or use an accredited representative. Complete required VA and Defense Department separation examinations before release.
Who this service helps
The service member must be on full-time active duty, including qualifying National Guard, Reserve, or Coast Guard service, have a known separation date with 180 to 90 days remaining, and be available for VA examinations during the 45 days after filing. Claims requiring specified special handling do not use BDD.

Cost / fees
No application fee is stated. BDD is a filing pathway and does not guarantee a faster decision or benefit award.
About this service
The Benefits Delivery at Discharge program lets eligible service members file a VA disability claim before separation and may speed the decision process. Service members with fewer than 90 days remaining can still file a standard pre-discharge claim outside BDD.
