Claim this profile, free106 accredited attorneys, 12 claims agents and 186 VSO representatives are based in South Carolina.
South Carolina's 118 attorneys and agents work out to 3.02 per 10,000 veterans, ranking 28 of 52 states and territories.
Of South Carolina's 46 counties, 24 have an accredited attorney or claims agent based there (52.2 percent). County locations could not be matched for 12 people on the roster.
The largest groups in South Carolina are in Columbia (21), Charleston (13), North Charleston (7), Greenville (6), and Mount Pleasant (4).
South Carolina added 16 newly accredited attorneys and agents in the last 12 months. Median time accredited in South Carolina: 5.0 years.
In these counties, the nearest help may be a free county VSO, or an attorney who works with you by phone and online.
South Carolina's VA regional office is in Columbia.
Attorneys and claims agents per 10,000 veterans: South Carolina 3.02; Georgia 4.15; North Carolina 3.88. Based on each representative's roster state, not the states where they accept clients.
About 390,000 veterans live in South Carolina, using VA's rounded population projection.
At least 155,553 veterans in South Carolina 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 1,300 people in South Carolina receiving compensation, using the reported minimum.
Workload report dated 2026-09-19.
Claims with a South Carolina address: 17,342 claims pending, 10.1 percent pending more than 125 days.
For claims with a South Carolina address, VA averaged 72.3 days to complete a claim this fiscal year. Individual claims vary.
Columbia regional office: 5,502 claims pending, 9.3 percent pending more than 125 days, averaging 61.2 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.
