VFW issued a Claim Shark factsheet

According to the week of November 13, 2023’s VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Action Corps Weekly, the VFW has issued a Claim Shark factsheet concerning individuals or companies that charge hefty fees to “assist” or “consult” veterans with filing their VA benefit claims. This practice is Illegal. Some Claim Sharks listed on the factsheet are: Trajector Medical, Vet Benefits Guide, Veterans Guardian, VA Claims Insider, Telemedica, Patriot Angels, Veteran Care Services, VetComm, VA Claims Academy and at Assist.

Veterans should always work with a VA Accredited veterans service organization assisting with Camp LeJeune lawsuits who do not charge excessive fees. Veterans should protect themselves by always working with VA accredited representatives, attending all exams ordered by VA, not signing contracts, not agreeing to fees or payments from future benefits, not agreeing to pay for medical consultations or opinions, and not providing access to Protected Health Information or Personal Identifiable Information.
