Claim Readiness Report
This tool helps you document how your condition affects your daily life — in language that VAC and CRA actually use. It covers Activities of Daily Living (VAC Table of Disabilities), mental functions (CRA DTC), and work capacity.
When you finish, you'll receive:
- A plain-language narrative using VAC and CRA terminology (for your doctor, navigator, or representative).
- A structured summary showing which CRA DTC categories may be flagged (marked restriction, significant limitation, or cumulative effect).
- A downloadable text report and structured data file you can keep or share.
What you'll be asked about
Module 1 — Daily Living
4 pages · Walking, dressing, feeding, hygiene, arms, hearing, speaking, vision, household tasks, memory

Module 3 — Physical Function
