There have been several lawsuits filed against Vet Comp and Pen, a company that provides assistance to veterans filing VA disability claims. These lawsuits allege a variety of unfair and deceptive practices, including:
- Charging excessive fees for their services.
- Misrepresenting the success rate of their claims.
- Engaging in deceptive marketing practices.
- Failing to provide adequate customer service.
In one case, a veteran alleged that Vet Comp and Pen charged him $3,000 to file a VA disability claim, but failed to provide him with any meaningful assistance. The veteran ultimately had to file his own claim, and he was awarded a much lower disability rating than he was entitled to.
In another case, a veteran alleged that Vet Comp and Pen misrepresented the success rate of their claims, claiming that they had a 98% success rate. However, the veteran’s own research revealed that the company’s success rate was much lower.
Vet Comp and Pen has denied all of the allegations against them, and the lawsuits are currently ongoing. However, these lawsuits raise serious concerns about the company’s practices and suggest that veterans should be cautious before using their services.
Here are some recommendations for veterans who are considering using Vet Comp and Pen’s services:
- Do your research. Read online reviews of the company and talk to other veterans who have used their services.
- Be aware of the fees. Vet Comp and Pen charges a fee for their services, and you should be sure you understand what you are getting for your money.
- Get everything in writing. Get a written contract that outlines the scope of Vet Comp and Pen’s services and the fees you will be charged.
- Be your own advocate. Don’t rely solely on Vet Comp and Pen to handle your VA disability claim. Do your own research and be sure you understand the process.
If you have any concerns about Vet Comp and Pen’s practices, you can contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Better Business Bureau (BBB). You can also file a complaint with the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (OIG).
