Veterans Guardian says it’s fighting to give veterans a choice. Critics say they’re guardians of greed.

    The VA doesn’t find out what’s wrong with vets, they ask vets to come with deep medical knowledge and diagnoses to support their claims. In my branch at least… diagnoses weren’t handed out. Only Motrin.

    As you say, these companies give vets the ammo needed to support their claims, and that requires a medical provider’s time. Whoever is behind these articles is advocating against veterans receiving benefits once the military breaks them.

      Veterans Service Officers are a legally protected position which provides Veterans with that information. The law is to attempt to stop ‘non-certified’ VSOs from offering for pay services…

      Even though legally anyone can look up the VA codes and what counts for benefits.

      I can see both sides. I’m generally against ‘for pay’ services but most VSOs are booked out for months… So, what are ya gonna do?
