Accredited VSO claims help

DAV, VFW, American Legion, and state VSOs can file and appear with you — no fee for the claim itself.

An accredited representative can file, argue, and sit in exams with you. Ask if they are accredited. A friend who “does claims” is not the same thing.

Who it is usually for.

Anyone filing or appealing a VA claim who wants an accredited representative.

What to have in hand.
  • Photo ID
  • DD-214 if you have it
  • Decision letters
Moves.
  1. Search accredited representatives on VA.gov.
  2. Book the appointment before you run out of a deadline.
  3. Bring the decision letter and your evidence list.

Timing hint: Appointments vary by office; book early.
