Q: Is there claims assistance through the American Legion?

Answer:

Yes, the American Legion provides comprehensive claims assistance through their Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) at no cost to veterans. These trained professionals help with filing initial disability claims, appeals, and other VA benefits applications. They're accredited by the VA and can represent you throughout the entire claims process, from gathering evidence to attending hearings.
You can find assistance at local American Legion posts nationwide or contact their National Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Division. Visit www.legion.org and use their post locator, or call 1-800-433-3318. Many posts offer walk-in hours, but calling ahead is recommended. The Legion also provides online resources and claim forms on their website. Don't wait - their services are free, and having experienced representation significantly improves your chances of a successful claim.
