We discuss Tennessee's House Bill 342 which would allow unaccredited individuals to process veterans' disability claims in exchange for up to five months of back pay. This legislation poses serious risks to veterans seeking benefits they rightfully deserve through their service.
• House Bill 342 allows anyone to help veterans with claims regardless of qualifications or training
• Claim sharks could receive five months of a veteran's back pay even if the veteran wins through other means
• Working with accredited claims agents gives veterans access to the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS)
• Accredited representatives can communicate directly with VA personnel about specific cases
• Veterans should check insurance EOBs to ensure they're not being improperly billed for service-connected conditions
• Using VA.gov's direct messaging system creates a valuable paper trail for all communications
• VA Secretary Doug Collins has stated there will be no cuts to veterans' benefits
• The VA dental care system continues to present challenges for many veterans
If you need help with your VA claim, seek assistance from accredited Veterans Service Officers, VA-accredited claims agents, or accredited attorneys who have the training and access to properly handle your case.
