Description
I sent an email to Senator Alex Padilla Senator Laphonza Butler and Representative Tom McClintock II regarding the issue of Claim Sharks. Their predatory practices include guaranteeing an increased disability rating or percentage increase and advertising expedited VA claims and other misleading items. The VFW apposes proposed legislation like the PLUS for Veterans Act or any legislation that would assign future benefits and legalize these practices to allow companies to charge up to $12500 for claims assistance. No veteran should have to pay for earned benefits.
