A group of 43 members of Congress (42 Democrats, 1 Republican) sent a letter on Dec. 10, 2025 to the VA, FTC and CFPB urging enforcement action against unaccredited companies charging veterans to file VA disability claims, citing federal rules that require free, VAâaccredited assistance. The move follows NPR reporting that Floridaâbased Trajector Medical used a roboâdialer to access VA claim updates via the veteransâ hotline and billed veterans â sometimes when it wasnât responsible for the benefit increase â a practice the company denies is unlawful.
