VA Champion, LLC is a private software company that provides self-help technology and general educational information about the VA disability process. We are not sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Benefits Administration, any state Department of Veterans Affairs, or any federally chartered veterans service organization. State and county veterans service offices, as well as accredited VSOs, may be able to assist you at no cost. The services offered by VA Champion are not endorsed by any of these organizations, and you may qualify for additional veterans benefits outside of what we provide.
VA Champion, its staff, and its software are not accredited agents, accredited VSOs, attorneys, or medical professionals. VA Champion does not prepare, present, file, or prosecute VA disability claims on your behalf, and does not act as your representative before the VA. Our software is a self-help tool that you use to prepare and submit your own claim; you remain solely responsible for your claim and for everything submitted in it. We do not provide legal advice, medical advice, or representation. We do not review your claim for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, or apply the law to the specific facts of your case.
Our role is limited to providing self-help software and general educational information to help you better understand the VA disability process and complete your own claim. Any decisions you make or actions you take regarding a claim are your responsibility. We encourage all veterans to consult with an accredited VSO, accredited claims agent, or accredited attorney for claim preparation or representation. A list of accredited representatives can be found at www.va.gov/ogc/apps/accreditation/index.asp.
You are not required to use VA Champion or any paid service in order to file a VA disability claim. Many veterans achieve favorable outcomes without using our services. VA Champion has no influence on how quickly the VA processes claims or what decisions the VA makes.
VA Champion does not guarantee any particular outcome regarding disability ratings, approvals, compensation amounts, or processing times. Any examples, statistics, or past results we reference are general in nature, may change over time, and are not specific to your claim. They should not be interpreted as a promise or prediction of results.
