About 688,000 veterans live in Pennsylvania, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 171,698 veterans in Pennsylvania 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 620 people in Pennsylvania receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
