Is a VSO free?

Can a VSO help with a VA disability claim?
Yes. A VSO can help you file an initial disability claim, gather and organize evidence, complete VA forms, and track the claim after it is submitted.
How do I find a VSO in Worcester County?
Browse the office listings on this page for Worcester County, call the office to confirm hours and appointment requirements, and verify accreditation on VA.gov before appointing a representative.
