I understand you are in need of help to file a claim or appeal?
Yeah, that's correct.
Good, in that case, you may want to work with an accredited attorney, a claim agent or a Veterans Service Officer. We recommend you these professionals because they are trained and certified in the VA claims and appeals processes.
Ah, i see, And those VSO are meant to help me?
That's right. VSOs work on behalf of veterans and service members as well their dependents and survivors.
Well, certainly it sounds very good but, do i have to pay something for that professional?
By general rule, you can't be charged for any of this assistance. But if there are some unusual expenses, a charge may appear.
Do you know of a case where a agent or attorney have been charging too high?
Yeah, i think i know someone.
O.k, if you are sure about, it, then you can challenge it, so an investigation starts.
O.k, i'll keep that in mind. Please, besides a VSO, there is a possibility that i can work with an attorney or claim agent, isn't?
