This three-hour training is designed for anyone, including lawyers, non-lawyers, and veterans, interested in learning the fundamentals of VA disability compensation. It is particularly suited for those seeking to become VA-accredited claims representatives, as well as veterans who have filed their own claims and want a better understanding of the process.

The program provides an overview of veterans benefits law, including disability compensation and veterans pension, along with practical tips for working with the VA. Participants will receive a certificate for three VA CLE credits, which may be applied toward VA accreditation.
