Everything was smooth sailing on the Veterans Adviser's side for submission to the VA. When I received a denial the first time I was surprised and heartbroken, but Stephanie spoke to me directly and settled my nerves by explaining that sometimes the VA will do so. She explained the next steps and what might happen even at the supplemental claim stage. When I received denial #2 from the VA it was not a surprise as the VA had once again not reviewed my actual paperwork submitted. Stephanie stayed on top of things and explained what a Higher level review might look like, reassuring me to trust the process. Fast forward a few months later I received the positive outcome we had longed for. Forever grateful for Stephanie and the team.

I cannot say enough good things about the outstanding service I received from Tony. From day one,…read morehe was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly dedicated to helping me navigate the complex VA disability process. Thanks to his expertise and relentless commitment, I was granted 100% Permanent and Total disability in lightning speed--something I never thought possible!!! He handled every detail with care, kept me informed throughout, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. What stood out the most was how much he genuinely cared--not just about the case, but about me as a person and a veteran. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you, guide you with confidence, and get results fast, Tony is the one you want by your side. I'm beyond grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any fellow veteran seeking VA benefits.

She reserved the smaller room- which still held a good amount of people. Tables and chairs were provided and she had a table set up for hot food- crock pots to be plugged in. And another banquet table for gifts to be set upon. There was so much room for guests to pass through freely to the main room and outdoor patio/ rear parking lot that nobody had to squeeze between others. I'm pretty sure bartenders are volunteers here- so please be kind and tip them!

Started strong, ended in total failure -- avoid if you value communication or results…read more I'm a veteran with a severe back injury that the VA originally rated at only 20%. I signed up with Veteran's Benefits Guide (VBG) hoping to get the fair rating I deserved. At first, things went great -- the intake was smooth, my case manager had a clear plan, and within a few months, VBG helped me get an increase to 50%. The plan was to file another claim afterward since my other injuries were directly connected to the back injury. That was almost two years ago, and everything since then has been a nightmare. I went through the intake process again, but never heard from anyone. After calling multiple times, I was told to "just wait" because they were overloaded. Months later, I discovered the VA had a new claim filed for me -- listing every body part imaginable and no supporting documents. When I finally reached someone at VBG, they admitted I'd never been assigned a case manager and that my records were missing. They blamed it on switching to a new system that "must have automatically filed" the claim and promised to call me back. They never did. I called again a month later, warning them my Intent to File was about to expire, which meant I'd lose a full year of back pay if they didn't act. They claimed they still hadn't received my records -- even though I'd already sent them twice. I sent them again, called again, and was told they finally had them. Still, nothing happened. My Intent to File expired, and I lost 12 months of back pay because of their negligence. When I called again, they said my case manager had been on an "extremely long vacation" but would be back soon. He never called. Over the next six months, I called every few weeks -- most calls went unanswered, and when they did answer, I was given one excuse after another. No updates, no progress, no accountability. At that point, I stuck around only because I had a baby on the way and didn't want to start from scratch with another company. Looking back, I should have switched to Veteran Compensation Services -- they actually answer calls, follow up, and text you updates. If you're considering Veteran's Benefits Guide, save yourself the stress. They will ghost you, ignore your deadlines, never call back, and cost you real money. VBG started strong, but once they got my first increase, they completely dropped the ball. Absolutely unprofessional and unreliable.

I was later provided with a second DBQ and completed all required steps, yet there was still no change in my rating. Throughout the process, there were noticeable delays and a lack of timely guidance, which impacted my confidence in the service being provided. Despite my full participation and compliance, the outcome did not reflect the level of support or expertise I expected. Over the years, I have invested approximately $9,000 into your services. Given the overall experience and final outcome, I feel that I am simply out of a significant amount of money without receiving a meaningful return on that investment.
