A national service program offering free VA compensation and benefits help for blinded veterans and their families.
Organization And Scope
The Blinded Veterans Association’s Veterans Service Program connects blinded veterans across the country with accredited National Service Officers. Its official benefits page describes claims and appeals assistance at no cost to the veteran or family. The officers also explain benefits and services for blind veterans. The program says its work is with VA compensation and benefits, a useful distinction when choosing the right contact for your question.
Getting In Touch
The benefits page asks people seeking claims assistance to complete its intake form before contacting the team so staff can prepare for the situation. It separately identifies forms for membership and other BVA programs. Use the claims intake route for a benefits issue, and ask the service team for assistance if the form or document process is difficult to access with your assistive technology.
Checking Representation
Before sending records, identify the question you want help resolving and any VA letter that needs attention. Ask whether the officer can handle that issue and how the office will communicate with you in an accessible format. BVA appears in the OGC organization directory, and the individual officer’s current accreditation can be checked there. Asking for assistance begins intake; confirm the representation arrangements with the program.

Confirm The Person And The Appointment
Recognition of an organization does not replace checking the individual representative. Confirm current accreditation, the organization's appointment instructions and whether it can assist with the requested matter. This is a factual directory profile, not a recommendation or paid placement.
