The largest groups in Pennsylvania are in Philadelphia (77), Pittsburgh (41), Greensburg (6), Harrisburg (6), and Williamsport (6).
Pennsylvania added 19 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Pennsylvania: 6.0 years. Accreditation dates were unavailable or invalid for 1 person; those records are left out of these time calculations.

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.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Pennsylvania address: 19,299 claims pending, 11.4 percent pending more than 125 days.

Pittsburgh regional office: 3,466 claims pending, 19.1 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 82.3 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.
