Is Hiring a VA Disability Consultant Worth the Investment?

When it comes to filing a VA disability claim, the process can often feel overwhelming. Many veterans find themselves asking, “Is hiring a VA disability consultant worth the investment?” At Veterans Guardian, we believe that the right guidance can make all the difference in securing the benefits you’ve earned through your service. In this article, we’ll analyze the advantages and disadvantages of hiring a VA disability consultant, bolstered by real-world testimonials.

Advantages of Hiring a VA Disability Consultant

Expert Guidance

Navigating the complexities of the VA system can be a challenging task. With a consultant, you benefit from expert advice tailored to your specific needs.

Testimonial: “From first phone call to the last one. Vet Guardian helped me understand and made me aware of all aspects of my claim. Coached me on the frightful C&P exam. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you do very much. Went from 70% to 100%.” – Steve P., U.S. Veteran

Time-Saving

The VA Disability Claim process involves a series of steps and plenty of paperwork. A consultant can significantly expedite this process, letting you focus on what truly matters.

Testimonial: “Wish I would have known about Veterans Guardian years ago. I was stuck at 30% for years and after multiple claims had finally managed to get the VA to give up 50%. But that was it, they weren’t going to budge another percentage. A fellow vet told me about VG. All it took was a phone call and they got the ball rolling. They did all the work and made it a very easy and organized process for me. I was really impressed at the way they put together my claim package with all the forms and supporting data needed to make it successful. Even provided the postage paid envelope to mail it in. In no time the VA had made a decision for 100%. All those years wasted using the free services and trying to do it myself. Wish I had known to call the professionals.” – Daryl J., U.S. Veteran 

Maximizing Benefits

Consultants have the in-depth knowledge to explore all avenues, even those you might overlook. They can assist you in securing a higher disability rating, which translates to increased benefits.

Testimonial: “With my current disabilities, I was awarded 80% after years of pushing and doing the work. With Veteran Guardian, I was able to get up to 100% with minimal effort on my part. I originally thought I was going to be awarded 90% but was pleasantly surprised when I was awarded 100%.” – Maurice H., U.S. Veteran

Considerations

Financial Costs

There are free services that will help you file your disability claim, but oftentimes they are understaffed, leading to extended response times and delays in your application for benefits. At Veterans Guardian, we are very up-front about the costs of our services and you pay nothing if we aren’t successful in helping you achieve a higher rating. With a 95% success rate and an average 85 day decision time, we are confident that we’re the best of the best and can help you achieve the rating you deserve. 

No Guaranteed Outcome

Despite expert assistance, there’s no guarantee that your claim will be approved. But with a consultant’s support, your chances for a successful outcome increase dramatically.

Is It Worth the Investment?

Testimonial: “I am very happy with the outcome that I received with the VA while working with Veterans Guardian. The whole team is there to help, and you can reach out to them, and they respond quickly. I also think that the fees you have to pay are justifiable based on the outcome you get. I would recommend them to anyone looking to fill a claim or get an increase. It’s worth it. I went from 60% to 100% within 2 months.” – Dennis G., U.S. Veteran

Testimonial: “VG was very professional. They have a system in place to make the process easy for you. From start to finish, the claim process took 2-3 months and it was very stress-free for me. Highly recommend. Worth every penny.” – Nicholas O., U.S. Veteran

Testimonial: “Right from the start they were extremely helpful and explained everything in great detail and followed up those explanations w/ an email. While it may seem like a rather steep charge, w/ their help and being able to submit a fully developed claim, my increase claim request was accepted by the VA on April 21st and was approved and closed by May 20. In the long run, money well spent.” – Rodney B., U.S. Veteran
