Open the BT22 Profile
Create a secure account, upload your documents, and let your profile organize them. You choose who, if anyone, can see it.
Get started
Start where it makes sense for you.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Start with what you have, and we’ll help from there.

Three ways in.

Upload your documents and have them organized into one profile you control and can share with the people helping you. It’s launching soon — check back here, or contact us and we’ll let you know when it opens.

Contact us directly
Not sure where to start, or don’t want to decide right now? Tell us what’s going on in your own words. We’ll help you find the right starting point.
Before you send anything
Do not send Social Security numbers, VA claim numbers, DoD ID numbers, full dates of birth, home addresses, medical-record numbers, photographs of identification, passwords, banking information, or complete medical records by email or through any open form.
Submitting information does not authorize us to contact VA, DoD, healthcare providers, attorneys, employers, family members, or anyone else on your behalf.
This is not for emergencies
For a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you’re in crisis right now, call or text 988, then press 1, or chat at veteranscrisisline.net. We aren’t able to respond to emergencies in real time.
Who it’s for
Who this is for.
Individuals and families
If you’re managing care, benefits, claims, and appointments — for yourself or for someone you love — your documents become one organized profile, instead of a stack you rebuild every time.
Veterans moving between services
Especially for veterans experiencing homelessness, who may have to jump between several disconnected services. A profile that follows you means each new office can start from what’s already documented.
The people helping them
Attorneys, benefits VSOs, and homeless-services case workers can work from the same organized picture, when the person chooses to share it with them.
Families after a loss
If you’ve lost someone to suicide, the profile can help you understand what happened at the operational level and what options you may have next — with an advocate who doesn’t answer to an institution.
Good to know
What happens next.
- Your profile is built from the documents you choose to add.
- You decide who can see it, and you can change that later.
- If something in your history is relevant to an area we’re studying, we may invite you to share more. That is never required.
- Everything we do with your information is explained on Your Data.
