Neighboring states
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Kentucky 3.09; Illinois 4.20; Indiana 3.69; Missouri 2.99; Ohio 2.82; Tennessee 3.04; Virginia 3.19; West Virginia 2.34. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
Veterans and benefits in Kentucky
About 262,000 veterans live in Kentucky, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 85,210 veterans in Kentucky 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 1,100 people in Kentucky receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Where Kentucky claims are worked
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Kentucky address: 8,925 claims pending, 9.7 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Kentucky address, VA averaged 75.7 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Louisville regional office: 3,086 claims pending, 10.9 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 81.2 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

| American Legion | 32.0 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.

Every active VA-accredited attorney and claims agent is listed for free. Attorneys can claim their listing to add their firm, website and details. Premier and Featured are paid spots above the free listings, labeled "Paid placement." When Featured spots are not sold, they rotate daily among listed attorneys at no cost, labeled "Free rotating spot." Payment never changes the order of the free listings below them.
