Phase 1 — Veteran profile and claim path
Start with service identity, broad role, and claim type. Then select every exposure category that may reasonably apply. This system supports multi-select intake because military exposure is often layered and overlapping.
Phase 2 — Expanded multi-select exposure matrix
Select every exposure condition that may apply
The matrix is intentionally broad. Veterans often overlook exposures because they were treated as routine duty conditions. Select direct, suspected, repeated, or environmental exposures even if the exact substance is unknown.
Phase 3 — Conditional deep dive
Detailed follow-up for selected exposures only
These fields open only for the exposure conditions you selected. This captures detail without overwhelming the user with irrelevant questions.
