It’s come to our attention that numerous unaccredited individuals in North Central and Northeast Florida are presenting themselves as licensed officials authorized to assist with VA claims. Visiting folks in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, these fraudsters are taking advantage of veterans and seniors with false information.
Veterans or survivors seeking to file claims with the VA should do so through an accredited representative, including a service agency, claims agent, or attorney recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs. These individuals are certified by the VA and have the proper training necessary to assist our heroes.

Our heroes deserve the very best and I will always fight to make sure they receive the care they have earned. Continue reading
