“The VFW continues to lead the charge against unaccredited, unscrupulous actors we call Claim Sharks who charge service members, veterans, and survivors illegal fees. Our resolutions urge Congress to pass legislation that protect VA beneficiaries from predatory companies and individuals attempting to bypass the VA accreditation system and monetize the disability or death benefits of veterans and surviving families.” – VFW National Legislative Service Director Pat Murray from his testimony before the House Veterans’ Affairs Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs hearing on the disagreement about fees for services rendered in the preparation of initial and supplemental claims for veterans’ benefits. #DontFeedTheSharks #VFWDC2025
