Fraud by Vets, Against Vets: Inefficiency’s Dirty Fuel

Veterans, VA claim fraud can sting—sometimes from vet insiders—and inefficiency worsens it. I’m a retired CPA at Veterans Claims Analytics, tracking trends. Pete Hegseth, on Episode #143 of the Shawn Ryan Show (Nov 7, 2024, 00:21), said, “The VA is the beast, and they want to feed it, not starve it.” Whether filing a claim solo or through a VSO, our analytics offer data on best practices and a clear understanding of what constitutes new and relevant evidence to navigate pitfalls.

Data suggests 90% of unaccredited “helpers” might be ex-military, per our trends, potentially encouraging questionable filings—300k clog the VA backlog (2024). A 2023 VA audit flagged suspect claims. Pete Hegseth told Shawn Ryan, “More claims, more mess, more budget—it’s not about outcomes, it’s about survival.” Veterans Claims Analytics shares data on VA processes, efficiencies, and what evidence counts—informing you, not directing. We don’t file claims or offer legal advice—just insights to help you steer clear of risks.

Veterans Claims Analytics provides insights, best practices and a clear understanding of what constitutes new and relevant evidence to avoid fraud risks. Pete’s take resonates—whether filing a claim solo or through a VSO, you’re informed. We don’t steer—just share data. Your benefits stay in your hands with our numbers.
