Steer Clear of VA ‘Claims Sharks’

Written on .

A “claim shark” is the term given to an agent or company that charges veterans to help them file their initial claims for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. The process to file a claim for VA benefits is free, yet claim sharks usually charge upwards of $5,000 for their services despite the existence of accredited individuals and accredited veteran service organizations (VSOs) that offer free assistance to veterans in filing their VA benefits claims.

Anyone filing a VA disability claim should only work with organizations that are accredited with the VA. VA Accredited Service Officers can help with all aspects of the process. Find a VA accredited representative or VSO at www.va.gov/get-help-from-accredited-representative/find-rep/.
