Filing a claim to get VA Disability Compensation and making sure you get the benefits you are entitled to can be complicated. It is best to get help. The VA authorizes three types of accredited representatives to help with the application process:
- Accredited Service Officers (who do not charge for their services) from VA-recognized veterans service organizations
- Accredited Claims Agents (non-attorneys who may charge for some services), and
- Accredited Attorneys (who usually charge fees).
