46 accredited attorneys, 4 claims agents and 15 VSO representatives are based in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico's 50 attorneys and agents work out to 6.26 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 6 of 52 states and territories.
The largest groups in Puerto Rico are in San Juan (13), Aguada (5), Ponce (4), Mayaguez (3), and Anasco (2).
Puerto Rico added 7 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in Puerto Rico: 2.5 years.
Puerto Rico's VA regional office is in San Juan.
About 80,000 veterans live in Puerto Rico, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 36,399 veterans in Puerto Rico 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 730 people in Puerto Rico receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a Puerto Rico address: 3,968 claims pending, 11.9 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a Puerto Rico address, VA averaged 64.7 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
San Juan regional office: 978 claims pending, 20.3 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 82.7 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.

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.
