The cheapest free service is the Vet Service Officer at any VFW, American Legion Post. They are trained by the VA annually, and being Vets and not getting a cut of your settlement are interested in helping you

SPC Frank Montalbano - You'll want to connect with your local state's Department of Veterans Affairs* as well.
Your state's DVA is usually the most up-to-date regarding state specific benefits, programs and services available to veterans (both with and without disabilities).

I'd definitely stick with your states DVA and County VSO. I didn't know I even qualified for benefits until the age of 54 (I'm 62 now). I was put in touch with my local VSO who was fantastic. It took several years of perseverance and several C&P exams, along with a couple of appeals, but in the end it was well worth it. Be very careful about what you see on the web, etc. as most of these are scams and have a lot of small print requiring a veteran to fork over several thousand dollars after winning their claim to these 'companies' for the small relatively small amount of 'actual work' they perform (they are not registered with the DVA either), just a cautionary bit of information going forward!

SPC Frank Montalbano As mentioned by SGM Bill Frazer, you can work with a Veteran Service Officer for free. Good luck.

I didn't even know I qualified for several disabilities I've been dealing with. Was referred to You-Tube and there is a ton of information but you have to take it with a grain of salt. Most of those folks want you to sign up to get more information or assistance, but its a starting point to talk with you local VSO. That's what I have done, cost me a few hours of time, and gone from 30 to 50% with two more claims pending. Had I known I could have been 50% almost 20 years ago.
