NATIONAL VETERANS SERVICE
Last year, VFW-accredited service officers recovered $16.2 billion in earned VA benefits for veterans and their families, at no cost to anyone.
THE COUNTRY’S LARGEST FREE VA CLAIMS SERVICE.
National Veterans Service (NVS) has helped veterans secure what they earned for more than a century. The VFW operates the program. The VFW Foundation funds the training, technology, and infrastructure that keep it running and free to every veteran.
EXPERT ADVOCACY FROM FIRST CLAIM TO SURVIVOR BENEFITS.
Accredited service officers guide each veteran through the VA system from start to finish:
- Claims development and filing (164,000+ new claims assisted in 2025)
- Hearing and appeals before the Board of Veterans Appeals
- Pre-discharge filing on military installations before separation
- Lifetime advocacy, from a first claim through survivor benefits
Free to all veterans, service members, families, and survivors. No VFW membership required.
BILLIONS RECOVERED. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS SERVED.
THE VFW FOUNDATION’S FLAGSHIP CORPORATE ASSET.
Every dollar invested in NVS infrastructure returns measurable benefits to veteran households. Corporate supporters fund the training, technology, and field operations behind billions in recovered benefits each year, a clean economic-impact story for CSR and ESG teams. NVS aligns naturally with financial services, insurance, healthcare, and legal sector supporters.
