Maine added 10 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Maine: 3.1 years.

7 counties with no attorney or claims agent located by ZIP

Neighboring states

Veterans and benefits in Maine

About 107,000 veterans live in Maine, using VA's rounded population projection.

At least 34,310 veterans in Maine 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.

70 to 90 percent32.3 percent29.5 percent

Where Maine claims are worked

Workload report dated 2026-09-19.

Claims with a Maine address: 2,768 claims pending, 13.0 percent pending more than 125 days.

For claims with a Maine address, VA averaged 85.5 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.

Togus regional office: 938 claims pending, 12.2 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 74.6 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.

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.

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.
