Neighboring states
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Florida 5.47; Alabama 3.18; Georgia 4.15. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
Veterans and benefits in Florida
About 1.41 million veterans live in Florida, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 538,014 veterans in Florida received VA disability compensation at the end of fiscal year 2025. VA does not publish very small county counts, so the true number is a little higher.
That works out to about one accredited attorney or claims agent for every 700 people in Florida receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Where Florida claims are worked
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Florida address: 63,653 claims pending, 10.6 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Florida address, VA averaged 74.1 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
St. Petersburg regional office: 11,590 claims pending, 12.1 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 70.3 days pending.
VA moves claims between offices, so an office's queue can include claims from other states.
Board hearings are mostly virtual, so an attorney does not need to be local.
How representation relates to Board results
National Board of Veterans' Appeals results, fiscal year 2024, legacy appeals.
| Representation | Appeals allowed |

| Attorney | 42.7 percent |
| Claims agent | 37.5 percent |

| American Legion | 32.0 percent |
| Disabled American Veterans | 31.7 percent |
| State service organizations | 31.5 percent |
| Paralyzed Veterans of America | 31.5 percent |
| Vietnam Veterans of America | 30.9 percent |
| Veterans of Foreign Wars | 30.7 percent |
| No representation | 29.7 percent |

What decides Board appeals
Claim Raven's national analysis covers 101,518 condition decisions in 49,876 appeals: 29.5 percent granted, 40.8 percent denied, and 26.6 percent remanded. These are appealed cases, not initial VA claims.
Where the Board rated the medical link, grant shares were 89.7 percent when strong, 3.7 percent when weak, and 1.6 percent when missing. Grant shares were 16.7 percent with one kind of evidence and 56.9 percent with six or more kinds of evidence, among the 80,128 condition decisions where evidence types were identified.
These figures show association, not cause. Read the analysis and methodology.
