BUDDY AND LAY STATEMENT BANK

This folder matches the VA Claim AI Evidence Builder book folder map.

Use:
- Drafts/ — working drafts before witness review/signature.
- BuddySign_Outputs/ — signed BuddySign outputs after the witness signs.
- Witness_Contact_Worksheets/ — witness contact worksheets and notes for your own organization.
- Legacy_Acrobat_Signed_PDFs/ — older/manual Acrobat-signed PDFs if BuddySign was not used.

After you know the specific claim issue, copy the final signed output into:
03 CLAIMS BY ISSUE/[ISSUE]/05 BUDDY STATEMENTS/

Do not sign for your buddy/witness. The witness must personally review and sign only if the statement is true and based on what they personally know, saw, heard, or observed.
