Choose a VA-accredited representative for claims assistance. The good news: VSOs help for free. Start there. You always reach out yourself — we never share your information or sell you as a lead.
Free help and fee rules. Accredited VSO assistance is free. Attorneys and claims agents may not charge for preparing or filing an initial VA benefits claim. They may generally charge for review after the claimant receives notice of VA’s initial decision, subject to the applicable rules and a written fee agreement.
The 20% limit applies to fees paid directly by VA from past-due benefits. It is not a universal cap on other arrangements, which must be reasonable. Ask how fees and expenses work, what happens if the claim is unsuccessful, and where the agreement must be filed.
U.S. federal benefits representation; sources checked October 7, 2026: VA fee guidance and 38 CFR 14.636. Court representation and individual fee disputes require separate review.

Sourced from the official VA OGC accreditation directory. Always verify accreditation before working with anyone. We never sell your information.
How ordering works: free VSOs always come first, and each category is shown separately. A “Claimed listing” means an attorney or claims agent subscribes to support this free site; claimed listings appear first within their own category. A subscription never changes who is listed, never moves anyone above free VSO help, and never gives us a say in who you contact — it is not a recommendation, rating, or endorsement by us.
We are not the VA. Veterans’ Rights is an independent resource built for veterans. We are not the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, not part of the government, and not endorsed by any government agency.
This is general information, not legal advice. For advice about your own situation, talk to a VA-accredited representative — many help for free.
