1. Intent to File
Military · Veteran Abbreviations
Notice a veteran submits to the VA to preserve an earlier effective date for a claim while gathering evidence, giving up to one year to file the full application.
Example: Submit an ITF today so your back pay starts from now, not from when you finish the paperwork.
An intent to file can be submitted online, by phone or by form. If the claim is approved, benefits may be paid back to the ITF date. It is one of the simplest ways to protect potential compensation.
