148 accredited attorneys, 10 claims agents and 229 VSO representatives are based in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts's 158 attorneys and agents work out to 5.77 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 8 of 52 states and territories.
Of Massachusetts's 14 counties, 11 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (78.6 percent). County locations could not be matched for 5 people on the roster.
The largest groups in Massachusetts are in Boston (52), Worcester (12), Springfield (8), Arlington (4), and Braintree (4).
Massachusetts added 20 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Massachusetts: 4.2 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
Massachusetts's VA regional office is in Boston.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: Massachusetts 5.77; Connecticut 5.85; New Hampshire 2.91; New York 7.14; Rhode Island 31.45; Vermont 1.81. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 274,000 veterans live in Massachusetts, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 76,563 veterans in Massachusetts 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 480 people in Massachusetts receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Massachusetts address: 6,839 claims pending, 12.2 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Massachusetts address, VA averaged 85.0 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Boston regional office: 1,168 claims pending, 12.0 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 71.1 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.

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.
