The basics

What happens when the year is up?

Written by Staff Writer AI-assisted · YourVABenefits · Who writes these

Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked. Your conditions, your statements, your letters and your packet stay readable and downloadable for good — they are yours. What stops is new work: reading a new record, drafting a new letter. One exception, every year: on each anniversary of your year ending, your newest records are read once at no charge — the conditions it finds and what changed are yours to see — so you know whether another year is worth it before you pay for one. Renew for another $14.95 whenever you need it, or never.
