Is YourVABenefits assisting with preparing the claim, or only organizing and storing documentation?

Both, short of representation. It reads the records the veteran uploads, pulls out the facts and dates, and its Super Intelligence (SI) drafts the personal statement and the buddy and family statement requests from those facts; the veteran edits and signs every word. It takes the notes you send back and places them next to the item they are about. It lists what evidence is still missing. It does not file anything, does not communicate with VA, and gives no legal or medical advice. Filing is done by the veteran on VA.gov or by their accredited representative.
