What American Patriot Service Corp. does

American Patriot Service Corp. (APSC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bountiful, Utah, that provides free assistance to wartime veterans and surviving spouses applying for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Aid and Attendance Pension benefit. Services are delivered at no charge, as required by VA regulations that prohibit fees for this category of assistance, and are funded entirely by donations and membership fees. The organization reports having helped over 7,000 veterans and surviving spouses secure more than $300 million in lifetime pension benefits, against an estimated eligible population of nearly 10 million.

APSC's service is operationalized through a structured workflow: free confidential consultations, online information workshops, and one-on-one sessions with assigned benefit consultants who walk each applicant through a proprietary online application platform during a phone call typically completed in under 45 minutes. The proprietary software is the core technical asset, enabling specialists to complete VA applications with applicants in real time. An optional Post-Claim Support Service extends the relationship into ongoing VA administrative work such as audit responses and address changes. A tiered corporate sponsorship program (Bronze through Platinum, with Platinum requiring $100,000+ cumulative giving) underwrites the approximately $900 per-claim processing cost, and institutional partners include UBS, Sagicor, Northrop Grumman, and Knights of Columbus.

The organization is led by a board that includes a Marine Corps veteran chairman (Lamar D. Breshears), founder and Executive Director Richard A. Neslon, an Air Force Colonel and former Administrative Law Judge serving as General Counsel (Steve Goodwill), a Certified Financial Planner (Shari Sykes), and other financial-services professionals. In 2026, APSC formally expanded its organizational charter to include the ELYON Initiative, an international mission focused on the rescue and preservation of Christian communities facing genocide in Africa and Asia, broadening the entity beyond its original U.S. veteran-services mandate. Marketing and outreach rely on the company website, Facebook, YouTube, in-person and online workshops, and a volunteer referral network.

Broad incumbents

• Disabled American Veterans (DAV): A congressionally chartered veterans service organization that provides free VA claims and benefits assistance to millions of veterans. DAV's national infrastructure and brand recognition make it a broad incumbent serving overlapping benefit-claim needs.
• Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW): One of the largest and oldest veterans service organizations, offering VA claims assistance among a broader portfolio of member services. VFW's nationwide network competes for veteran mindshare and donor contributions in the same claims-assistance space.
• American Legion: A major congressionally chartered VSO with extensive VA claims assistance services and a national network of service officers. Operates broadly across many veteran benefit programs rather than specializing in A&A like APSC.
• Paralyzed Veterans of America: A VSO focused on veterans with spinal cord injuries and related disabilities, offering benefits assistance including A&A claims. Operates with national reach and a specialized veteran sub-population, making it a partial overlap peer.
• Wounded Warrior Project: A large, well-funded veteran services nonprofit offering a broad portfolio of programs including benefits assistance. While much larger and broader in scope than APSC, it competes for donor dollars and provides overlapping VA claims help.
• Military Officers Association of America (MOAA): A large professional association of military officers that provides benefits counseling and advocacy, including VA claims assistance. Overlaps with APSC on the benefits-navigation use case for a different veteran demographic.

Emerging players

• USA Cares: A nonprofit providing financial assistance and resource navigation to veterans and military families. While its primary focus is on housing and crisis financial assistance, it intersects APSC in helping veterans access earned benefits.

Direct peers

• Patriot Angels: A nonprofit organization that helps veterans and surviving spouses apply for the VA Aid and Attendance Pension benefit, directly overlapping APSC's core service offering. Both provide free, accredited assistance navigating the A&A application process.
• Soldiers' Angels: A nonprofit that supports active duty service members, veterans, and their families with a range of assistance programs, including help navigating VA benefits. Overlaps with APSC's veteran-assistance focus while operating at a different scale and scope.
• Veterans Pension Specialists: A specialty firm/organization assisting veterans with VA pension applications including Aid and Attendance. Shares APSC's narrow A&A specialization and target veteran population, though operating under a different (typically fee-based or hybrid) model.
