How to apply for Texas Veterans Commission Claims Assistance (Free VA Claims Help)

Texas Veterans Commission (TVC)

Who it's for

Texas Veterans Commission claims counselors help veterans, spouses, and survivors file and appeal VA claims — disability compensation, pension, Aid and Attendance, survivor benefits — at no cost. Getting the VA rating right matters twice in Texas: the rating drives federal compensation AND the state property-tax exemption tier. No one needs to pay a private company to file a VA claim.

Claims assistance is free — accredited TVC counselors and County Veteran Service Officers file initial claims and appeals at no charge.

What you'll need

DD-214 or other military discharge paperwork
Any existing VA correspondence or award letters
Medical records related to the claim
