Athena App Icon

Built for veterans. Private by design.

A DVA claim can feel like a mountain. Athena breaks it into smaller steps — getting your records in order, understanding the rules for your conditions, and preparing what you’ll lodge — privately on iPad or Mac, with a free tier and no cloud upload of your records.

You don’t have to solve everything on day one

Your claim, one step at a time

Phase 1 Discover & understand

Before anything gets lodged, get your history in order and learn what the rules actually ask of you — at your own pace, with nothing leaving your device.

  1. Organise your records

    Import JeHDI and UMR into a private vault — Athena tags conditions, dates, and clinicians so years of records become searchable.

  2. Understand the rules

    Plain-English help with the RMA SOPs and presumptive pathways DVA tests your claim against — offline on your device.

    What are SOPs?
  3. Discover what’s claimable

    Athena scans your vault against the SOPs and surfaces conditions that are documented but were never connected to your service.

Phase 2 Build your claim

When you’re ready to claim, Athena turns what you discovered into a structured, evidence-linked submission — you stay in control of every word.

  1. Start with a Case Briefing

    Once a condition surfaces, Athena briefs you on the strongest evidence for it — and tracks what’s already claimed, so nothing is duplicated.

  2. Tell your service story

    Map each condition’s onset against your service periods. Athena works out the standard of proof and legislation (MRCA, DRCA, VEA) for you.

  3. Match the factors

    Pick the SOP factor each condition satisfies and link the vault evidence that supports it — the legal test, answered with your records.

  4. Build, export, lodge

    Write your statement in guided sections with a real-time checklist, then export a Zip pack ready for myService.
