I’m Matthew Lopez, U.S. Navy veteran. I built Rated Right after going through the VA system myself — stuck at 80%, confused, and tired of delays.
Using the process created by retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Louis J. Schwartz, I went from 80% to 100% P&T in 15 months.
Rated Right is a step-by-step, self-paced program that helps veterans understand the VA process, organize their evidence, prepare for exams, and build a complete, clear claim file.
This community is for veterans starting at 0%, stuck between 10–90%, or denied before.
It’s education and coaching — not legal advice or representation — built to give you clarity, confidence, and control.
Your claim. Your story. Let’s get it Rated Right.
