What Veterans Guardian does

Veterans Guardian is a pre-filing VA disability claims consulting firm headquartered in Pinehurst, North Carolina, founded in 2017 by LTC(R) Scott Greenblatt, a retired Army officer with 25 years of service and 10 overseas combat deployments. The firm helps honorably discharged U.S. veterans maximize the VA disability rating they have medically earned by developing personalized claim strategies, preparing fully developed claim packets, and reviewing VA rating decisions, including assistance with secondary service connections and appeals. Co-founder LTC(R) William C. Taylor, also a retired Army officer with 23 years of service, serves as COO, and Brian Johnson leads government affairs as VP.

The company's core product is its VA Claim Consulting service, supported by complementary tools including an online VA Disability Calculator, a 2026 VA Disability Rates reference hub, and a credentialed Medical Provider Network that conducts Compensation & Pension exams focused on accuracy. Distribution is direct-to-consumer: veterans engage via the website, a free consultation call (833-577-8387), or scheduled appointments, with discovery driven by an extensive content marketing footprint including a blog, advocacy content covering legislation such as the PACT Act and CHOICE Act, state-specific benefit pages for all 50 states, and an Instagram presence with 13,285 followers. No proprietary technology, API, or AI/ML systems are disclosed; the offering is human-expert-led.

The business model is a single revenue stream based on transaction fees: Veterans Guardian charges a one-time, success-based fee equal to 5x the veteran's monthly benefit increase, payable only after an approved rating increase, with the backpay untouched. The firm reports serving 60,000+ clients since 2017, 69,000+ claims approved, and a 90% success rate in obtaining rating increases for clients. The 51-100 person organization is composed of veterans and military family members, with 62% of staff being veterans or military spouses, and has accumulated multiple federal and industry recognitions including HIRE Vets Platinum, Military Friendly Employer, BBB Torch Award for Ethics, and AMVETS Employer of the Year.
