Helping veterans and active duty personnel obtain the benefits they deserve
The National Veterans Legal Services Program (NVLSP) is an independent
nonprofit organization that has worked since 1980 to ensure that the
U.S. government keeps its pact with our nation's 25 million veterans and
active duty personnel by providing them the federal benefits they have
earned through their service to our country.
As a conduit for change against unfair government practices, NVLSP has
been instrumental in the passage of landmark veterans' rights
legislation. Lawsuits brought by NVLSP attorneys have forced the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to pay hundreds of millions of
dollars in benefits to disabled veterans and their families and have
forced the military departments to give millions of dollars in back pay
to veterans.
NVLSP recruits, trains, and assists thousands of lawyer and non-lawyer
advocates who represent veterans and active duty military personnel for
free. Our publications empower veterans, current service members, their
families, and their advocates to obtain the benefits they're entitled to
by clearly outlining their rights under the law.
Your support is needed!
We rely on our friends and supporters to provide critical
financial support so that we can continue our efforts to help veterans and
their families get the full benefits they're entitled to.
