Of course. In general, no individual or organization may charge you a fee to help you file your initial application for benefits. But they may charge you for unusual expenses.
Do you believe a claims agent or attorney charged a fee that s too high?
No, I currently don't have any fees connected to such services.
How can I locate a VSO?
You can find an accredited representative or a VSO by going to eBenefits to find a local representative including a recognized VSO, an attorney, or a claims agent by state/territory, zip code, or the organization's name, for example.
And what should I do after I'm done filling out the forms?
After this you'll need to mail it to your nearest VA regional office. Please speak to the service organization or representative before you send your request.
That's good to know, I'll do that. And what exactly can a VSO do for me?
Accredited representatives and VSOs can help you understand and apply for VA benefits, for example financial support monthly payments or education.
I have another questions about that topic. Is it possible to challenge a fee a VSO charges for a service?
