Jordan Anderson - VA Claims Academy

On YouTube · Jordan Anderson, Air Force veteran and founder of VA Claims Academy

Anderson started VA Claims Academy after paying $15,000 for claim help that produced little, then teaching himself the system to a 100% permanent-and-total rating. His channel — about 134,000 subscribers — is a DIY classroom: how to prove service connection, what raters look for, C&P exam prep, and nexus letters, in a direct, no-jargon style. New process videos were still posting in September 2026.

Why we carry them. It is the peer channel built most explicitly around teaching veterans to file correctly themselves instead of handing their claim to someone else.

Carried with eyes open: the Academy states on its own pages that it is not VA-accredited, and it sells a course. Its premise — teach the veteran to file correctly themselves — is what we endorse; the accreditation line still applies.
