MissionComplete is an independent app. It is not a government app. It does not represent any government entity and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or any other government agency. Built by a veteran, MissionComplete helps separating service members stay organized through the military-to-civilian transition: deadlines, medical records, appointments, and plain-language education on how VA disability ratings work. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Transition checklist in the order the work actually happens, with each step's timing on its own page. - VA disability rating education: the rating schedule in plain language, plus a combined-rating calculator. - Medical condition and record organizer, behind a biometric lock. - Appointments and reminders for C&P exams, sleep studies, and follow-ups. - Resume and LinkedIn builder, and planning for your last paycheck and separation pay. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Health information is protected with a mandatory biometric or passcode lock. Scanned records are processed and discarded, not stored. EDUCATION, NOT CLAIMS REPRESENTATION MissionComplete is not accredited by the VA and does not prepare, present, or file claims. It provides education about the rating schedule only, and is not legal, medical, or claims advice. Free help is available from VA-accredited VSOs and attorneys.
