What BDD is
Benefits Delivery at Discharge lets eligible service members file a VA disability claim before separation so the claim can be reviewed around the transition window.
Timing from the transition guide
The VetOps transition timeline highlights the 180-to-90-day pre-discharge window as the key BDD planning period.
What to organize
Service treatment records, claimed conditions, current symptoms, private records, exams, deployment records, and copies of your personnel file should be organized before final out.
Educational boundary
VetOps helps organize information and deadlines. It does not file claims, provide legal representation, or guarantee VA outcomes.
