VA Claims Navigator (VACN) is an independent, veteran-led nonprofit organization and is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

VACN is not a Veterans Service Organization (VSO), accredited representative, attorney, or authorized VA claims agent.

Our mission is to provide education, training, and informational resources that help veterans better understand the VA disability claims process.

Veterans remain responsible for preparing and submitting their own claims to the VA.

Free assistance may also be available through VA-accredited representatives and organizations such as:

• Disabled American Veterans (DAV)
• Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW)
• The American Legion
• State and county veterans service offices
• Other accredited representatives and attorneys

Participation in VACN training programs is completely voluntary, and our goal is to provide veterans with knowledge and clarity so they can make informed decisions about their claims.

Any examples or information shared through our website or training programs are provided for educational purposes only and do not guarantee outcomes. Every VA claim is unique, and results will vary.

Information provided by VACN should not be considered legal, medical, or official VA advice.

VACN does not file, submit, or represent veterans in VA disability claims.

Any donations or membership proceeds help fund training, educational resources, and future veteran support initiatives, including:

• veteran mental health programs
