For VSOs and advocates

Has the veteran signed anything allowing YourVABenefits to assist with or represent them?

Written by Staff Writer AI-assisted · YourVABenefits · Who writes these

No. The veteran's representation is their VA Form 21-22 with your organization. YourVABenefits states in its terms that it is not an accredited representative of the VA or any other organization, and it never charges a veteran to use the service.
