Frequently Asked Questions About VSOs
What is a VSO?
A Veterans Service Officer (VSO) is a representative of a veterans service organization, state, county, or tribal office who is accredited by the VA to help veterans prepare, file, and follow up on claims for VA benefits.
Is a VSO free?
Yes. Accredited VSO representatives help veterans at no charge. A VSO should never ask for a fee or a percentage of your VA disability benefits or back pay.
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 Arlington County?
Browse the office listings on this page for Arlington County, call the office to confirm hours and appointment requirements, and verify accreditation on VA.gov before appointing a representative.
Can a VSO help with a VA appeal?
Yes. VSOs commonly help with Supplemental Claims and Higher-Level Reviews, and many can assist with Board of Veterans' Appeals filings.
What should I bring to my VSO appointment?
Bring your DD-214, any VA decision letters, service treatment records, civilian medical records, a medication list, dependent information if relevant, and a list of the conditions you want to discuss.
How do I know if a VSO is VA accredited?
Search the representative or organization in the VA Office of General Counsel accreditation search on VA.gov. Accreditation can change, so confirm it before signing a VA Form 21-22.
Can I change my VSO?
Yes. You can appoint a different accredited representative at any time by submitting a new VA Form 21-22 (organization) or 21-22a (individual), which replaces the prior appointment.
