ServiceArchive Pro keeps the documents and the dates that carry weight across years of VA disability claims. We built ServiceArchive because we kept hearing the same story from veterans: a PACT Act denial eleven months ago, a sleep apnea diagnosis ten years post-discharge, a C&P exam in two weeks - and the records that would prove service connection are scattered across email, a shoebox, and a memory that's working against the timeline. ServiceArchive is the cabinet that keeps them, on this iPhone, for as long as the claim cycle runs. Built for veterans navigating PACT Act burn-pit denials, Camp Lejeune 1953-1987, Agent Orange Vietnam-era, Gulf War presumption, and the September 2025 VA OIG report finding 61% of toxic-exposure denials potentially erroneous.
