VACP Services
VA Claim Pros, LLC is a pre-filing and post-filing consulting firm that does not REPRESENT veterans before the VA in connection with any claim for VA benefits.
Our medical consulting services are intended to enhance your ability to uncover all of the legitimate VA disabilities for which you may be eligible and best present the necessary evidence to the VA, so you can receive an accurate and timely VA Rating with the least hassle.
If you are in the process of appealing a VA rating decision, regularly work in conjunction with a VA Accredited Agent or Attorney that you have already retained, or if you are seeking a VA Accredited Agent or Attorney to represent you for an appeal, please click HERE to view the VA’s directory of Accredited Agents and Attorneys.
i) Preparation of a Claim Package
VACP does not charge a fee for the preparation of a claim package and provides those services free of charge to all Veterans who have executed our Medical Consulting Service Agreement (MCSA). Our MCSA details the fees associated with our pre-filing and post-filing consulting.
VACP has the ability to terminate our consulting agreement with you for any reason including:
- You fail to comply with our requirements.
- VACP has reason to believe you are acting in an unethical manner to defraud the VA and dishonor fellow veterans.
- You fail to make timely payment on any payments due payable to VACP.
- For any other reason, at our sole discretion.
ii) Schedule of Fees
VACP does not charge any up-front consulting fees. If you do not receive an increase in your VA disability rating/pay, then you would not owe VACP. However, after services are rendered and an increase in disability benefits has been awarded by the VA, you shall pay VACP an agreed upon fee.
If you do receive an increase, the above mentioned MCSA stipulates that our standard fee will be equal to five (5) times the increase in your VA disability compensation. So, if you currently receive $1000 per month for your VA disability benefits and we help you get to $1500 per month, you agree to pay us five (5) times the amount your monthly compensation increases by, for a total of $2500. Other fees may apply.
After services have been rendered by VACP, there are no refunds. VACP does not bill until AFTER you have received an increase in your VA disability benefits.
iii) Shipping
Documents prepared by VACP may be shipped by USPS Priority, or by any method deemed appropriate by VACP. No shipping fee is charged to you. VACP does not guarantee the estimated date of shipping or date of delivery to any location.
Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to postal carrier. VACP is not responsible for delays in delivery, damages, or events beyond its control including floods, fire, strikes, civil disobedience, freight embargoes, or acts of public enemy, including acts of federal, state, or local government.
iv) Limitations of Use
You agree that services rendered by VACP are confidential and proprietary information, and the property of VACP. You agree that upon receiving services, they will not copy, distribute, resell, lend, lease, display, teach to others, or show these services to others. You agree that no one may use these services in any way not intended by VACP, even if they cost nothing. By receiving services from VACP, you are bound by these Terms and Conditions. Any misuse of services or products rendered by VACP, as defined by these Terms and Conditions, will result in the termination of our consulting agreement with you.
