These updates are now live and focused on making fact extraction clearer, timelines cleaner, and document handling more accurate. You should notice faster reviews, less clutter, and better-organized information throughout your cases.
1. C&P Medical Opinions: Cleaner, Opinion-Focused Extraction
We’ve simplified how CaseScribe extracts medical opinions from C&P exams.
What’s new
For each medical opinion inside a DBQ, the system now extracts only:
Opinion Type
(Direct Service Connection, Secondary, TERA, etc.)Favorability
(Favorable or Unfavorable to the Veteran’s claim)Exact Verbatim Opinion Text
(the complete opinion as written by the examiner)
What’s improved
Cleaner opinion summaries
Easier scanning when a DBQ contains multiple opinions
Less noise from unrelated fields like history, rationale, or functional impact
2. VA Form 21-0781 / 21-0781a: One Rich Fact Per Document
These forms now produce one consolidated fact per document, instead of multiple timeline entries.
What’s new
The VA Filing / Receiving Date now anchors the fact on the timeline.
All stressful incidents (dates, locations, descriptions) are included inside the same fact, rather than creating additional entries.
Benefits
Cleaner Fact Timelines
Easier to follow “one form = one fact”
No loss of incident detail
3. Automatic Extraction of Duty Locations from SR “Marks” Pages
The AI now detects and extracts duty locations from the “Marks” page in Service Records.
Benefits
More complete service-location capture
Less manual searching
Better support for building service timelines
4. New C&P Exam Sub-Type for VA Form 21-2680
We added a new C&P Exam category specifically for VA Form 21-2680, Examination for Housebound Status
What’s new
The form still defaults to JD classification
Users can now reclassify it under C&P Exam for better organization
This gives you more flexibility in how these exams appear in your workflow.
5. TERA Memos Are Now Classified as Evidence
TERA Memos now default to Evidence instead of Agency.
Why this matters
Matches how most users already categorize these documents
Reduces reclassification work
Improves consistency across cases
These Updates Are Live
No action is needed on your end. CaseScribe now uses these improved rules automatically in new uploads and extractions.
If you see anything unexpected or have follow-up suggestions, we’d love to hear from you.
