Veterans, I am no vet, but a $4 million VA claim fraud case drew me in. I am a retired CPA who writes about VA claims data. The VA system runs on incentives that do not always point toward getting claims decided correctly. Whether filing a claim solo or through a VSO, it helps to know what the rules count as new and relevant evidence — this post looks at the published data on that.
Fraud chasing led here. VA’s old fee statute (38 U.S.C. § 5904) and vague rules sit behind a large and persistent claims backlog, and some sources push questionable filings. The published data covers processes, efficiencies, and what evidence counts — informing your prep, not directing it. We don’t file or advise — just offer insights.
Knowing what the rules count as new and relevant evidence is how veterans sidestep the common pitfalls. Whether filing a claim solo or through a VSO, your benefits stay yours. A VA-accredited representative can help you file — see the va.gov accreditation search below.
