Stated Purpose:
"To foster public health models in the Veteran Claim Process, which helps promote Veterans wellness as they transition back into their communities."

Year, State Incorporated:
2015, CA

Alternatives for Veterans provides a structured process and a personalized coaching assistant, which helps veterans understand the key steps in building, preparing, and submitting a case.
At the same time, we implement a 4-step process and through a series of successful strategic links we help veterans move their Veteran Disability Compensation Claim from contemplation to decision phase.
Our models go beyond helping a Veteran receive “compensation” from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Our approach addresses public health concerns and applies mental health skills with a proven legal process so that veterans can get back to their life.
