DVCC operates as a consulting service, specializing in pre-filing and post-filing consulting services for Veterans engaged in submitting claims for VA Benefits. It is important to note that DVCC does not partake in assisting clients with the presentation and/or prosecution of claims for VA Benefits. Additionally, DVCC is not recognized as an accredited agent or entity by the Department of Veterans Affairs and maintains no affiliation with the Department of Veterans Affairs in any capacity. The organization is not a law firm, lacks an attorney on staff, and does not hold licensure to practice law in any jurisdiction.
The consulting services provided by DVCC may encompass verbal or written discussions of legal issues and procedures. Any communications are construed solely as DVCC's opinion and do not constitute legal assistance or advice. Information disseminated through this website and other forms of communication, including but not limited to benefits amounts, success rates, disability rating increases, and benefit increases, is a general estimate and not specific to any individual claim. It does not serve as a promise or guarantee of results. The determination of benefits and awards rests solely with the Department of Veterans Affairs, independent of DVCC.
This website and its contents are strictly for marketing purposes and should not be considered as medical, legal, or policy advice.
Pursuant to federal law (38 U.S.C. 5901), it is explicitly stated that "no individual may act as an agent or attorney in the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of any claim" unless duly recognized by the VA for that specific purpose. At DVCC, there is a firm commitment to never assume the role of an agent nor request clients to sign a power of attorney. If any private non-accredited company engaged you for assistance and sought a power of attorney or attempted to become your agent of record, it is encouraged to report such behavior to the US Department of Veterans Affairs (https://www.va.gov/ogc/accreditation.asp).
It is crucial for Veterans to be aware that there are freely available services to support the filing of claims for VA benefits. These services include National Service Organizations (e.g., VFW, DAV), Local Service Organizations, State Sponsored Veteran Service Officers, and/or the paid services of VA accredited agents or lawyers and congressional offices. Veterans are not obligated to utilize DVCC consulting services to submit a claim for VA benefits, and positive outcomes can be achieved through these alternative organizations.
Furthermore, Veterans have the option to utilize DVCC consulting services in conjunction with other free or paid services. DVCC exclusively works with clients who acknowledge the availability of these alternatives and have consciously chosen to retain DVCC consulting services with full awareness. The Veterans Administration provides a search tool to find representatives for VA Claims who will assist at no charge, accessible at https://benefits.va.gov/vso/varo.asp.
