Before your appointment

Get ready for your appointment

A VSO representative can file your claim and represent you at no cost. You still gather the evidence, and arriving organized helps you get more from the appointment.

What to bring

  • Your DD-214 or other discharge papers
  • Any VA decision letters you have received
  • Medical records you want to discuss, from VA or private doctors
  • A short list of your conditions and your questions

Ask the office what else it needs. Contact the office even if you are unsure which documents you need.

Starting a new claim? Ask about an intent to file

An intent to file (VA Form 21-0966) can hold your potential start date for benefits for up to one year while you gather evidence. Ask the office to submit one at your first contact if you have not filed one already. Check your intent to file deadline with the free calculator.

Prepare with Claim Raven

How Claim Raven works alongside your VSO

Claim Raven is software, not an accredited representative. It does not file claims or represent you. These tools are optional.

Choose the service you need

Claims offices help with VA benefits. Support and referral contacts may help with housing, employment or finding the right provider. A local post or chapter does not by itself establish accredited claims service.

About this directory

Directories cover all 50 states and the District of Columbia. They guide you to state, county and organization contacts from official sources. They are not a complete list of every accredited representative or office.

Each listing links to official sources and shows when its website information was checked. We have not confirmed appointments by phone or independently verified every individual’s VA accreditation. Listings are informational and do not imply a partnership or endorsement. You contact each organization directly.

Report a change to a listing. Include public office information only. Do not send medical records or claim documents.
