Terms

These terms govern use of the VADE website and educational content.

Last updated: September 11, 2026

Who operates this site

This site is operated by Joseph Wolfer under the name Veteran Aviator Disability Education (VADE).

What this site is

VADE provides general educational content about VA disability compensation, with a particular focus on:

  • Military aviation
  • Aircrew
  • Guard and Reserve service
  • Aviation-specific documentation
  • The intersection of VA disability and aviation medical certification

The purpose of the site is to help veterans understand these systems in general terms.

What this site is not

VADE is not currently accredited to represent veterans before VA.

Nothing on the site constitutes:

  • Individualized VA claims advice
  • Legal advice
  • Medical advice
  • FAA medical-certification advice
  • Financial advice

The site is educational only and is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to an individual situation.

If you need assistance with an actual VA claim, use a VA-accredited representative. See Accreditation Status for information on finding one.

No professional relationship is created

Using this site does not create a representation relationship, attorney-client relationship, medical-provider relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other professional relationship with VADE.

Subscribing to updates, submitting the Contact form, suggesting a Learn topic, or otherwise communicating through the public website does not create a claim, case, intake, or obligation for VADE to act on anyone’s behalf.

Accuracy of content

VADE articles and educational materials are researched against primary sources such as statutes, regulations, and official guidance as of the date published or last reviewed.

Laws, regulations, agency policy, and guidance change. Time-sensitive material may become outdated.

VADE makes reasonable efforts to keep published material current but does not guarantee that every page reflects the law, regulation, policy, or guidance in effect on the date a visitor reads it.

Where timing matters, verify current requirements against official sources.

Content ownership

VADE owns the original text, articles, graphics, and other materials it creates unless otherwise noted.

Third-party material, government material, photographs, quotations, source documents, and other externally created content remain subject to their own rights, licenses, public-domain status, and attribution requirements.

Visitors may read, link to, share links to, and use VADE content for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Republishing or redistributing substantial portions of VADE’s original content elsewhere requires permission unless otherwise permitted by law.

External links

VADE links to government websites, regulations, statutes, official guidance, and other external resources for reference.

A link does not mean VADE controls, endorses, or guarantees the accuracy of the entire external website. VADE may be citing only a specific page, source, or proposition.

No warranty

This site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, VADE is not liable for damages arising from use of this site or reliance on its educational content.

This site does not replace professional legal, medical, aviation-medical, financial, or other individualized advice.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated as VADE develops. The “Last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
