If you feel that the representative's fees are too high you can challenge the fees. You can find more information in the How to Challenge a Fee guide.
I would like to become an accredited representative or a VSO what qualifications are required for this?

Who is the best person to help me with the filing of my appeal?
If you need help you may want to work with an accredited attorney, or a claims agent, or a Veterans Service Officer (VSO).

Veterans Service Officers work for the Veterans Service Organizations both are called VSOs.
