The cheapest free service is the Vet Service Officer at any VFW, American Legion Post. They are trained by the VA annually, and being Vets and not getting a cut of your settlement are interested in helping you

SPC Frank Montalbano As mentioned by SGM Bill Frazer, you can work with a Veteran Service Officer for free. Good luck.

Disability ratings are based on severity of disability. 38 USC specifies the degrees of nearly every illness or injury known to the human race. A rating is increased when a Veteran moves from one level of disability to the next higher level.

I didn't even know I qualified for several disabilities I've been dealing with. Was referred to You-Tube and there is a ton of information but you have to take it with a grain of salt. Most of those folks want you to sign up to get more information or assistance, but its a starting point to talk with you local VSO. That's what I have done, cost me a few hours of time, and gone from 30 to 50% with two more claims pending. Had I known I could have been 50% almost 20 years ago.

You could also try your closest DAV (Disabled American Veterans) post. Again, free counseling and assistance with claim prep and filing.
