Today, the Military Times published an article titled, "Watch out for hefty charges to 'help' vets with disability claims."
"According to the VA, there is no statistically significant difference in the average number of days it takes any type of filer to complete a rating-related claim," the article explained. "In the current fiscal year, time frames have ranged from 129.7 days to 139.4 days whether veterans make a claim unassisted (which would include those who use unaccredited representatives) or use VSOs, agents, or attorneys."
