Veterans Help Group

What Veterans Help Group does

Veterans Help Group is a Clearwater, Florida-based veterans disability advocacy firm that exclusively represents veterans and their families in claims, appeals, and rating increases before the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Founded circa 2009 and operating as a privately-held LLC, the company reports helping more than 10,000 veterans secure over $500 million in disability benefits, with a stated 95% success rate across cases handled. The firm's service portfolio covers original VA disability claims, claims to reopen, appeals through the Board of Veterans Appeals and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and condition-specific representation including TDIU (Total Disability Individual Unemployability), PTSD, Agent Orange exposure, burn pits/PACT Act presumptive conditions, sleep apnea, tinnitus, and mental health claims. It also assists veterans with Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) filings.

The business operates a hybrid fee structure mandated by VA regulations: representatives cannot charge on original/new disability claims (pro bono), while appeals and rating increase cases are handled on contingency, with payment only triggered when the veteran receives backpay or an increased award. Service delivery follows a stated three-phase methodology — Investigation, Action, Resolution — and is supported by a network of medical and vocational experts used to establish service connections. The firm augments its advocacy with free digital tools (a 2026 VA Disability Calculator and an SSDI Qualifier Screener) and a library of free e-books, deployed as content-marketing assets to drive inbound case evaluations.

Go-to-market combines sales-led phone outreach (855-855-8992), website-driven free case evaluations, attorney co-counsel referral relationships, and on-the-ground presence at VA Stand Downs, veteran resource fairs, and military appreciation events across multiple states. The company claims nationwide coverage across all 50 states and U.S. territories. It is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity.
