Medical, military, benefits, and other records are often scattered across many places and thousands of pages. The BT22 Profile brings them together and pulls out the key parts, so a complex case becomes something you — or someone helping you — can actually navigate. It’s meant to be your base: something that leaves you empowered by your own records, not overwhelmed by them.
Launching this week
How it works
Three steps.
It’s built to cover all occupational and injury exposures as well as medical records, and to surface possible missed exposures — such as a spinal injury that never made it into later records — from what’s in your data.
Add your documents
Upload any document — medical, benefits, and more. In the future, you’ll also be able to connect directly to your medical records, so your profile stays current without re-uploading.
Medical record connections Planned
It organizes and pulls out the key parts
Your documents are sorted, read, and cross-referenced so the important details — and the gaps — are easy to find.
You decide who sees it
Your profile can follow you anywhere. Share it with an attorney, a benefits VSO, a homeless-services case worker, or anyone else you choose — and change that later.
Across your whole story
Every document, read together.
Once your documents are in, the intake portal turns them into something we can analyze across your whole story — so we can support the individual pieces of it.
For example
Central apnea signals show up in your records, and they connect to something in your benefits. We can help you learn how to advocate for that — to get not only updated care, but updated benefits too.
Examples like this are prompts for a conversation with your care team and a qualified benefits representative. They aren’t diagnoses or advice.
Know who you’re working with
What a qualified benefits person looks like — and what a scam looks like.
Review and alertsPlanned
We help you understand what a qualified benefits person is, and what a scammer looks like, so you can decide who to trust with your records.
VA accredits three kinds of representatives — veterans service organization representatives, attorneys, and claims agents — and says that unaccredited people who prepare, present, or prosecute VA benefit claims are in violation of federal law (VA).
You can check whether someone is accredited in VA’s accreditation search. If the person doesn’t appear, ask for clarification before you share records, sign an agreement, or pay a fee (Military Veterans Advocacy).
What a scam can look like6 signs
Guarantees a particular rating, approval, or payment amount
Charges a large upfront fee
Won’t tell you which accredited individual is handling your claim
Pressures you to sign right away, or hands you a confusing contract
Asks for your VA.gov login or password
Tells you VA accreditation isn’t necessary
From a veteran-advocacy group’s guidance on verifying accreditation (Military Veterans Advocacy). Accreditation applies to a person, not just the company they work for, and no representative can guarantee the outcome of a claim.
When you find the right person, you can share your profile with them — an accredited attorney, for example — and decide what they see.
If we see issues on our end:
If our review turns up red flags, we can flag them internally and send you or your family information on what to be aware of.
If we know you’re working with someone who isn’t accredited, or isn’t legally allowed to do what they’re doing, we can flag it and send you self-advocacy information.
What we send, and to whom
What we send goes to you or your family. We don’t contact that person or organization, or anyone else, on your behalf without separate, explicit permission.
How review and alerts work, and who at Behind The 22 can see what, will be published before they open. See Your data.
Your base
Your profile is your base.
The goal is for your profile to be your base — so you feel more empowered with your own records, even if cognitive load makes that harder and you need more support than most people do.
It’s your data. You should feel empowered by it, not overwhelmed.
What your profile can produce
The key parts, pulled out for you.
A document inventory of everything you’ve provided
An event timeline linked to its source pages
A list of records that appear to be missing
A summary of exposures and injuries mentioned in your records
Possible missed injuries or exposures worth asking about
Connections between your records and your benefits that are worth asking about
Medical history summaries by provider specialty
Supports to consider, such as cognitive-load management, based on your records and exposures
Plain-language reports you can share with people you choose
Self-advocacy education tied to what shows up in your history
Information on what to be aware of, such as red flags and how to check whether someone is accredited
Availability
Features open in stages alongside the launch. Direct connections to medical records are planned for the future and are not available yet. Suggestions are educational and meant to give you questions to bring to your care team — they are not diagnoses or medical advice. We’ll post what’s available on this page as each piece goes live.
Share your profile & stay connected
The people helping you start from what’s already documented.
You shouldn’t have to explain your history from scratch to every new person. When you add someone to your profile, they can see what you decide to show them — and you can communicate with them right inside the portal.
Choose who inherits access to your profile after your death, and record your wishes, so your family has a guided path and the evidence already organized.
