You may have heard recent industry news that Trajector Medical LLC has filed for bankruptcy and wondered, “What does this mean to me as a veteran?”
Trajector Medical began providing services to veterans in September 2014 under the name “Vet Comp & Pen Medical Consulting LLC,” later rebranding to “Trajector Medical” around October 2021. Trajector Medical is not a VA-accredited agency. They charged veterans excessive fees for assistance with their VA disability claims, including charging fees for preparing and filing applications for service connection of new conditions.
Understanding Claim Sharks and VA Disability Claims
In the veteran services community, these companies are often referred to as “Claim Sharks.” Claim Sharks are known to work in the gray areas of VA regulations, charging fees that exceed the amount allowed by the VA. They also bill for preparatory work on initial claims, which goes against VA regulations.
Most often, the work claim sharks do for veterans does not involve signing a 21-22a to create a formal relationship with the veteran before the VA. Therefore, the veteran is often on the hook if the VA finds a problem with the evidence Trajector gave the veteran to submit with their claim.
