ORGANIZE YOUR RECORD · 180 – 90 DAYS BEFORE SEPARATION

One record. Yours to keep.

Organize your military medical record while you still have time to request missing documentation. Walk into separation with one complete file — yours to keep, share, or hand to a VA-accredited representative.

What Dustoff Does

A records platform built around the BDD window.

Most veterans walk into separation without a complete copy of their own service treatment record. Dustoff is a software + education platform that helps you surface, organize, and review what's already documented in your file — so you walk into separation prepared.

Built for the BDD Window

Dustoff is a records platform built around the 180-to-90-day separation window — the time period when STRs can still be requested, corrected, and completed through MHS Genesis.

Medical Record Organization

Dustoff helps you organize and review your medical record, surfacing diagnoses, encounters, and supporting documentation already inside your STRs that you may want to discuss with a VA-accredited representative.

Education on the BDD Process

Step-by-step educational content on how the BDD program works, what 38 CFR says about your conditions, and how to read your own service treatment record — so you can have informed conversations with a VA-accredited representative.

A Records Packet You Own

Dustoff produces an organized, downloadable copy of your own medical record. Yours to keep, share, or hand to a VA-accredited representative or attorney of your choosing.

A Complete Personal Record

From service-connected injuries to PACT Act–era exposure documentation to mental-health encounters — Dustoff organizes the documentation already in your file into one personal record.

Time-Sensitive Documentation

Most veterans walk into separation without a complete copy of their own service treatment record. Use the BDD window to request, correct, and consolidate before you out-process.

All VA disability compensation is 100% tax-free — federal and state. Rates increase annually with COLA adjustments. Dependent increases begin at 30%. Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) provides additional amounts for severe disabilities.

Rating decisions are made solely by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs based on evidence submitted by the veteran and their accredited representative. Dustoff is a medical records platform — we do not file claims, do not predict ratings, and are not VA-accredited.
