Veterans are encouraged and expected to explore all free services available to them prior to consideration of working with Disabled.Vet.

Disabled.Vet does not serve as a representative for veterans before the VA in connection with any claim for VA benefits. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) accredits three types of representatives—Veterans Service Organization (VSO) representatives, attorneys, and agents—to help ensure that claimants have access to responsible and qualified representation on their VA benefits claims.

If you are already in the process of appealing a VA disability rating decision, it is recommended that you collaborate with a VA-accredited Agent or attorney for the appeal claim. A VA-accredited representative can help you understand and apply for any VA benefits you may be entitled to including: compensation, education, Veteran readiness and employment, home loans, life insurance, pension, health care, and burial benefits.

Disabled.Vet, specializes in delivering comprehensive pre-filing and post-filing consulting services to Veterans in the meticulous process of executing claims for VA benefits. It is essential to clarify that Disabled.Vet abstains from involvement in aiding clients with the presentation and/or prosecution of claims for VA benefits. Disabled.Vet is not an accredited agent or entity officially recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and there exists no affiliation with the Department in any capacity.

Disabled.Vet firmly asserts its non-affiliation with the legal domain, as it neither constitutes a law firm nor harbors an attorney on staff. It is important to emphasize that Disabled.Vet does not hold any license to practice law in any jurisdiction. The ambit of Disabled.Vet consulting services extends to encompass verbal or written discussions of legal issues and procedures, with all communications explicitly acknowledged as reflective of Disabled.Vet's opinion only. It is imperative to underscore that these communications do not, under any circumstances, constitute legal assistance or advice.

For comprehensive understanding, it is paramount to acknowledge that information disseminated through www.disabled.vet and various other modes of correspondence or marketing materials from Disabled.Vet, including but not limited to benefits amounts, success rates, disability rating increases, and benefit increases, are presented as general estimates. Estimates or statements are not specific to any particular claim and should not be construed as a promise or guarantee of results. The determination of benefits and awards is a prerogative solely vested in the Department of Veterans Affairs, independent of any influence from Disabled.Vet.

In alignment with federal law (38 U.S.C. 5901), which unequivocally states that "no individual may act as an agent or attorney in the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of any claim" unless officially recognized by the VA for that purpose, Disabled.Vet reiterates its commitment to never assume the role of an agent, nor request clients to sign a power of attorney. In cases where individuals have engaged with private non-accredited entities that have sought such powers or agent designation, a proactive approach is encouraged, urging clients to contact the US Department of Veterans Affairs (https://www.va.gov/ogc/accreditation.asp) to report such behavior.

Furthermore, Disabled.Vet underscores the availability of entirely free services for veterans to support the filing of claims for VA benefits. It is essential to reiterate that veterans possess the autonomy to opt for the free services provided by entities such as Recognized Veterans Service Organizations, State Sponsored Veteran Service Officers, or the paid services of VA accredited agents, lawyers, and congressional offices. The utilization of Disabled.Vet consulting services is explicitly characterized as non-mandatory, with the assurance that positive outcomes in VA benefit claims can be attained through engagement with alternative organizations.

To ensure absolute clarity, it is crucial to emphasize that veterans are at liberty to employ Disabled.Vet consulting services in tandem with the aforementioned free or paid options. This unique approach is predicated on the understanding that clients are fully apprised of the array of available alternatives and, with informed consent, have chosen to retain Disabled.Vet consulting services. In a gesture of transparency, the VA's search tool to find representatives for VA Claims, who provide assistance at no charge, is highlighted and recommended for veterans seeking such support (https://benefits.va.gov/vso/varo.asp). In essence, Disabled.Vet stands as a distinctive option in the spectrum of veteran support services, characterized by commitment to transparency, principled practices, and the empowerment of veterans in making informed decisions.

Disabled.Vet services are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult with a qualified and licensed physician, or other medical care provider, and follow their advice for treatment of conditions regardless of any information found or presented by Disabled.Vet. Disabled.Vet services are specifically crafted to support veterans with medical evidence in support of the VA disability claim process, not to diagnose, treat, or assess Veteran health conditions. Disabled.Vet does not employ doctors of medicine, nor do we claim to help cure any condition or disease. Disabled.Vet does not provide medical aid.
