Claim-to-Excellence and the Six-Star Playbook are connected parts of a veteran’s journey. CTE helps you understand your starting point, organize your documentation, identify gaps, and build a practical readiness plan. Six-Star carries that direction into everyday life, helping you turn priorities into meaningful steps toward stability, well-being, and purpose.

Start with clarity

Through assessment, documentation planning, and peer guidance, CTE helps you make sense of your options and prepare informed next steps.

Build beyond the claim

Six-Star connects your goals with planning, peer support, and appropriate resources for life beyond benefits: home, health, work, finances, relationships, and purpose.

You stay at the center of the plan. Your priorities guide the next step, with community connections and resource referrals helping you move forward. UAG provides education and navigation guidance; we do not file claims or provide representation.

Claim-to-Excellence creates clarity. The Six-Star Playbook turns that clarity into action. Together, they provide a roadmap for long-term stability — not just a successful claim
