The sharks are still out there! You don't EVER need to pay someone to be your "benefits coach" for VA benefits. You're already paying for those services through the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. They have service officers who know more about the VA benefits than the guy who says you need to pay him because he has all the answers. ADVA service officers are paid by the state -- not YOU. Their services to veterans are free. "No upfront fee" means there will definitely be a "backend" fee. DON'T FEED THE SHARKS!
