Hey Veteran, Brian Reese here.

I’m the Founder and CEO of VA Claims Insider, and I want to tell you exactly why this company exists, what we stand for, and what you can expect from us.

No corporate fluff.

No pretending we’re perfect.

Just the truth.

I started VA Claims Insider because I know exactly what it feels like to be stuck, frustrated, and confused by the VA disability claim process.

I spent 7 years fighting the VA and left nearly $100,000 in tax-free disability compensation and benefits on the table.

Why?

Because I didn’t know what I was doing.

I didn’t understand how VA disability claims really worked.

I didn’t understand what evidence mattered.

I didn’t know what I might qualify for.

And I didn’t have anybody in my corner showing me the way.

Eventually, I figured it out.

And once I did, I made a decision:

No Veteran should have to spend years struggling through the VA disability process alone like I did.

That decision became VA Claims Insider.

From One Veteran’s Struggle to 50,000+ Veterans Served

I founded VA Claims Insider in 2016 with a simple mission:

Make the VA disability claim process easier to understand through education, coaching, community, and access to helpful resources.

Since then, we’ve served more than 50,000 Veterans through our membership programs.

Yep, 50,000+.

But that number means something much bigger to me than company growth.

Behind every number is a real person.

A Veteran who served.

A spouse.

A family.

A Veteran who might have spent years wondering whether their VA rating was correct.

A Veteran who had been denied.

A Veteran who didn’t know what to do next.

A Veteran who simply wanted someone in their corner.

That’s why we’re still here.

Veterans Helping Veterans

One of the things I’m most proud of today is our coaching team.

VA Claims Insider has more than 30 Veteran Coaches serving our Elite Members.

Many are disabled Veterans themselves.

Some were once VA Claims Insider Elite Members.

They went through the process.

They learned.

They experienced the frustrations.

And then they came back to help other Veterans celebrate LIFE-CHANGE.

I love that.

Because this company was never supposed to be about handing Veterans some generic checklist and sending them on their way.

It’s about helping Veterans become educated and confident about their own VA disability journey.

It’s about having a battle plan.

It’s about knowing your next best move.

And it’s about realizing:

You don’t have to figure everything out by yourself.

We’ve Helped a Lot of Veterans. But Don’t Take My Word for It.

Anybody can make big claims on the internet.

I’d rather you look at what Veterans themselves have said about us.

Across various review platforms, VA Claims Insider has received:

7,000+ total reviews

5,500+ five-star reviews

A 4.6 out of 5 average rating

Those reviews mean a lot to me because they represent thousands of individual experiences with our team.

You can read and watch our VA Claims Insider Testimonials here:

And you can read in-depth Elite Member Success Stories here:

>> Read our Elite Member Success Stories 

You’ll find stories from Veterans from different branches, different eras, different disability ratings, and very different circumstances.

Some came to us after years of frustration.

Some had been denied.

Some simply didn’t understand what benefits they might qualify for.

Their stories are WHY we do what we do.

We’ve Also Made Mistakes

I also want to address something else because trust isn’t built by pretending everything has always been perfect.

It hasn’t.

As VA Claims Insider grew, there were times when the experience we delivered to Veterans slipped below the standard I expect from this company.

Some Veterans got frustrated.

Support wasn’t always where it needed to be.

Things felt different.

They deserved better.

And as the founder, that ultimately falls on me.

Not my team.

Not “the company.”

Me.

I own that.

And my priority today is very simple:

Earn and keep the trust of the Veteran community.

Not with slogans.

Not with hype.

By doing the work.

What VA Claims Insider Does Today

VA Claims Insider is an education and coaching company for disabled Veterans navigating the VA disability process.

Our Elite program is built around three major pieces:

1. Strategy

We help you understand where you are today and develop a personalized strategy for your VA disability journey.

What might you qualify for?

What could be missing?

What should you learn more about?

What’s your next best move?

The goal is clarity.

2. Education

VA disability claims can get complicated fast.

That’s why Elite Members get access to training, educational resources, live and on-demand classes, our private community, and tools designed to help Veterans better understand the process.

Because the more you understand your claim, the better prepared you are to make informed decisions.

3. Medical Evidence

Medical evidence plays a huge role in VA disability claims.

When appropriate, Elite Members can also access our network of preferred providers for services such as medical evaluations, DBQs, Independent Medical Opinions, and Nexus Letters.

These services are optional and depend on the individual Veteran’s situation and claim strategy.

What VA Claims Insider Does NOT Do

This part matters too.

VA Claims Insider is not a law firm, VSO, or VA-accredited claims agent.

We do not represent Veterans before the VA.

We focus on education, coaching, strategy, community, and resources that help Veterans better understand and navigate their own VA disability journey.

And VA Claims Insider isn’t the only path.

You can file a VA disability claim yourself.

You can work with an accredited Veterans Service Organization.

You can work with a VA-accredited claims agent or attorney.

Those are all legitimate options.

Our job isn’t to pretend we’re the only way.

Our job is to provide an option for Veterans who want education, personalized coaching, community, accountability, and additional resources while navigating the process.

Why VA Claims Insider?

There are a lot more VA disability websites, YouTube channels, consultants, apps, AI tools, and companies today than when I founded VA Claims Insider in 2016.

That’s fine.

Veterans having more access to good information is a positive thing.

But here’s what I believe makes VA Claims Insider different:

We’ve been doing this for a decade.

We’ve served 50,000+ Veterans.

We’ve built a community around Veterans helping Veterans.

We have 30+ Veteran Coaches serving our Elite Members.

We’ve earned thousands of public reviews.

We’ve built one of the largest free VA disability education libraries online.

And we’re still learning, improving, and showing up every day.

That’s important to me.

Because trust isn’t something a company gets to declare.

Veterans decide whether you’ve earned it.

Is VA Claims Insider Elite Right for You?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

And that’s okay.

If you’re completely comfortable navigating your claim yourself or already have the help you need, keep going.

Seriously.

There is a ton of free information available, including hundreds of articles and videos we’ve published ourselves.

But if you’re rated 0% to 90% and you’re stuck, frustrated, denied, underrated, or simply don’t know what to do next, VA Claims Insider Elite may be worth exploring.

Every Veteran’s situation is different, and VA disability outcomes depend on the facts and evidence in each individual claim.

You can learn more and see whether you’re a fit here:

There is no obligation just to learn more.

My Commitment to Veterans

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built since 2016.

But I’m even more excited about where we’re going.

My vision for VA Claims Insider is simple:

Become the world’s most trusted educational resource for Veterans navigating the VA disability claim process.

That’s a big goal.

And I know trust isn’t given.

It’s earned.

One Veteran at a time.

One interaction at a time.

One success story at a time.

We’ll keep publishing free VA disability education.

We’ll keep improving our coaching and member experience.

We’ll keep listening when Veterans tell us we can do better.

And we’ll keep fighting to make this complicated process easier to understand.

Because I still believe what I believed when I started this company:

YOU SERVED.

YOU DESERVE to get the benefits you’ve earned.

And you shouldn’t have to figure it all out alone.

Dear Veteran,
Here’s the brutal truth about VA disability claims:

According to our data, 8/10 (80%) of veterans reading this message right now are underrated by the VA…

This means you do NOT currently have the VA disability rating and compensation YOU deserve, and you could be missing out on thousands of dollars of tax-free compensation and benefits each month.

As a fellow disabled Veteran this is shameful and I’m on a mission to change it.
