“How I start every day is with a thank you to the good lord for the opportunity to do what I do…….to help disabled veterans get what they are rightfully entitled to and to work with some incredibly talented people who are like minded, what a blessing. There are several companies that provide this kind of service to veterans, Gumps VA is one of the best and I’m not afraid to say so.”
September 2, 2023I began my pursuit of being approved for VA benefits two years ago when I was recommended, by a friend, to Gumps VA Compensation Services. After having several claims refused by the VA, I requested assistance from Mr. Donald Warren and the Gumps VA Compensation Services.On August 10, 2022, President Biden signed the PACT Act which included issues that I had due to being stationed in South East Asia (Thailand), where toxic substances were used.With the diligent assistance of Mr. Warren I was approved for 100% VA benefits, for which I am very grateful!I have recommended a dear friend, who lost a kidney do to cancer, and he was also approved for 100% VA benefits. I have also recommended a daughter-in-law and a grandson to Gumps VA Compensation Services and their claims are in the process of being examined.I would highly recommend them to any veteran seeking help with their VA claims.Thank you Mr. Donald Warren and Gumps VA Compensation Services for your diligence and professional assistance with my VA benefits claims.With kind regards,J.P.

A fellow disabled vet recommended Don Warren and Gump to me. They had my best interest’s on everything we worked on. If I had questions for Don to answer, he was available 100% of the time and immediately had a solution. Without his help I would still be beating my head against the wall we call the VA. Thank you Don for all your help.

I would like to thank your firm for helping me receive my additional benefit. I didn’t realize that I was entitled to anything additional, even though I had received an additional diagnosis that entitled me to increased benefits. Thank you all so much for your expertise, and help. My claim was handled in a timely manner.

For over 20 Years I have been trying to get an increase in my VA disability. A good friend who had the same issue give me the information for Gumps VA Compensation Serices. I contacted them and within one month I got nice increase in my rating. My rep contacts me by phone or email when additional information is needed. I am very pleased with the level of professional and courtesy they have shown me. Thank you for all you do for us vets and helping us when we have given up hope.

I couldn’t be happier. With almost no input on my part, after providing the initial information about my service and conditions, they took care of everything. Seemingly by magic, money started showing up in my bank account. I actually found myself calling them to make sure there wasn’t a mistake. No mistake; just unaccustomed efficiency. I will and do recommend Gumps VA to everyone I meet.

My husband, a Navy veteran, passed away in January. I needed to file for survivor benefits, and since his case was complicated, I decided to go with Gumps as my representative before the VA. In a case that could have taken up to 6 months to complete, this was completed in 3 months, and I was awarded the survivor benefits on the first submission of the request.All this was accomplished by phone and fax, and the process went very smoothly. I had some questions, and they were answered promptly. I was told I would hear from my representative by a certain date, and within a few days of that date, I did hear from him. I have talked to him several times, and he has always been friendly and courteous.Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Gumps to any veterans or their families who feel they need a helping hand presenting their case to the VA.

Gumps VA Compensation has been assisting me for several years with my claims for the VA and had been able to show service connections with my current disabilities. They have been very proactive in keeping me up to date on any progress and have ensured all avenues are looked at. They have done very well by me!

I just wish that there was something special I could do for you guys at GUMPS Legal Services, for all of your hard work and dedication for fighting for us Vets. My road has been a long one since 2004. I have recommended GUMPS Legal to some close friends of mine, who I know have a good case, but they have been so let down by the system that they just gave up, and don’t want to bother. I will definitely be encouraging my fellow Vets to put their trust in GUMPS. They know how the system works and will fight for you every step of the way. There are a lot of choices out there, but I say try GUMPS first, you will not be disappointed.

I had tried for 15 years to gain a provable military connected disability from the VA with zero positive results. Having used other advocacy services the claim was still going nowhere…..until soliciting Gump VA Compensation Services. First attempt and 60% was awarded which opens an abundance of doors not just in monthly compensation but also Medical etc.THANK YOU!

First I thank God. I am so excited about being contacted and contacting Gumps VA Compensation Services. I’ve went the course two previous times with no financial outcome. However, one time with Gump VA Compensation Services let’s just say, I’ve been Blessed with a great compensation. I recommend them to anyone who has been through the same experience as me. May you find your treasure with Gump VA Compensation Services. 🙏🏾
