VA Claims Academy Marks Military's 250th Anniversary with Free Strategy Calls for Veterans Seeking Disability Benefits
Your Service Deserves A "Yes"!
Founded by U.S. Army veteran Jordan Anderson, VA Claims Academy provides a structured, done-with-you approach to the VA disability benefits process. Through a unique three-step system, Learn, Build, Approve, the organization equips veterans with both training and personalized guidance to pursue higher disability ratings without sacrificing any of their entitled back pay.
The strategy-call initiative, available now through August 31, 2025, aligns with the national spotlight on veteran well-being during this milestone anniversary. According to VA data, the claims backlog reached over 1.2 million pending cases as of February 2025, underscoring the urgency and complexity veterans face in securing appropriate benefits.
'This anniversary isn't just about looking back, it's about stepping up,' said Jordan Anderson, Founder of VA Claims Academy. 'Too many veterans are still caught in the cycle of lowball ratings and frustration. We built this Academy to change that starting with a free call to get every veteran the roadmap they deserve.'
The complimentary consultations offer veterans a confidential, one-on-one opportunity to assess their current claim status, receive a customized strategy, and understand the next steps. These calls carry no financial commitment and are designed to serve as a first touchpoint with a data-proven alternative to traditional claims assistance.
VA Claims Academy reports that over 3,000 veterans have completed its online and personalized coaching programs, which currently maintain an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from more than 5,000 verified reviews. Internal audits from 2024 indicate that 8 out of 10 program graduates reached a 100% Permanent and Total (P&T) rating, with average rating increases of 65% and back pay awards of up to $55,000.
Behind the success is Anderson's own experience. After losing $15,000 to a predatory claims consultant early in his transition to civilian life, he used his eventual back pay to build what became VA Claims Academy, a secure, veteran-owned platform compliant with HIPAA data standards.
The Academy's flat-rate pricing model ensures that veterans retain all their back pay, diverging sharply from percentage-based services that often claim a portion of retroactive compensation. Program access is offered through a one-time fee or four interest-free monthly payments.
'Our goal has always been to eliminate the guesswork and the gossip around VA claims,' Anderson added. 'That 'barracks talk' about who got what and why usually causes more confusion than clarity. We're bringing real strategy to the table.'
VA Claims Academy's offering comes at a time of renewed public attention on veteran services, fueled by the semiquincentennial of the U.S. Armed Forces. As policymakers, nonprofits, and advocacy groups turn their focus to improving veteran care, the Academy's call for accessible, transparent support resonates strongly.
The initiative is supported by a secure digital infrastructure and a veteran-led coaching team, all of whom have firsthand experience with the VA system. Each call is conducted via private, encrypted channels, with follow-ups and documentation provided in compliance with data privacy standards.
Veterans interested in scheduling a free strategy call can do so by visiting www.VAClaimsAcademy.com. Appointments are available now through August 31, 2025, and are open to veterans of all service eras and discharge statuses.
The Academy is not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs and does not provide legal advice. Instead, it serves as an educational and coaching platform designed to empower veterans with knowledge, structure, and personalized support throughout the VA claims process.

Senate Passes Its First Spending Bills, but Battles Lie Ahead
The Senate on Friday overwhelmingly passed the first of its spending bills for the coming year, with bipartisan approval of measures to fund military construction projects, veterans and agriculture programs and legislative branch agencies. But the broad agreement over the $506 billion package of bills, typically the least controversial of the annual federal spending measures, masked a bitter fight in Congress over how to fund the government past a Sept. 30 shutdown deadline. Senators pushed through the legislation after several intense days of haggling as part of an agreement to allow the chamber to make progress on funding the government before senators leave Washington for a monthlong summer recess. 'We are on the verge of an accomplishment that we have not done since 2018 — and that is pass appropriation bills across the Senate floor prior to the August recess,' Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine and the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, said on the floor. Still, debate over the package hinted at the bigger spending challenges that lie ahead. Democrats, furious about the White House's efforts to subvert Congress's power in the purse, are wary of striking spending deals with Republicans when President Trump and his team have signaled they intend to continue ignoring or defying lawmakers' spending dictates, even those enacted into law. And Republicans are fighting among themselves over how closely to hew to the Trump administration's spending targets. The package approved on Friday night would provide $452 billion for veterans programs, $300 billion of it mandatory spending to fund veterans benefits; $19.8 billion for military construction and family housing projects; $27.1 billion for agricultural programs; and $7.1 billion for the operations of Congress and legislative agencies.

Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg faces foreclosure after owner's passing
A popular wine destination just outside of Sacramento is facing an uncertain future. The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg is in the foreclosure process after the property's owner passed away unexpectedly. The Old Sugar Mill is a local favorite, not just for its wine but for its history and charm. The newly formed Old Sugar Mill tenants group is doing everything it can to keep it going. "This building has been here for years. My great-grandfather actually was part of the group that brought this building to Clarksburg to be a sugar beet factory," said David Ogilvie, a member of the Old Sugar Mill tenants group. The Old Sugar Mill has been around since 1934. It has lived a few different lives. Right now, it lives as a venue and home to 14 wineries. The current tenants are trying to keep it that way. "With the unfortunate passing of the previous owner of the sugar mill, we kind of banded together to create this tenants group that is keeping the place running," Ogilvie said. The owner of the Old Sugar Mill passed away unexpectedly in June. With him went the control over the mortgage loan. Now, a trustee has filed for foreclosure. The notice states roughly $9.25 million is owed to the lender. "We're basically funding an account that's outside of rent. We've been instructed by our attorney we need to stay in good standing and pay rent. So we've elected to set aside some other funds of our own to keep up with landscaping, electricity bill, those sorts of things," Ogilvie said. We talked to the trustee who filed the foreclosure paperwork last week. She said the next step is to wait 90 days to set a foreclosure date, which will allow the building to go up for sale and get a new owner. "I love the old setting style. I hope they keep it like this," said a customer. "We want to make sure we're working with them to show them what we're doing with the hope that they'll continue operating this facility as we have. Because it's an asset to this community and the sacramento region," Ogilvie said. The tenants group wants to get word out that business is running as usual. They're honoring agreements made with the previous owner, even weddings. "This is the shining jewel of the region for agritourism. It brings in many people every weekend, keeps economic viability to our town and with that, what I love to do is spread the love of farming and agriculture by having people come and enjoy a glass of wine right in the middle of Clarksburg," Ogilvie said. The Old Sugar Mill is hosting an event this weekend called "Summer of Love." There will be music and wine.

Housing development plans for former Flushing Airport site in Queens face community opposition
A large-scale housing development is slated for 80 acres in College Point, Queens. The Adams administration announced the plans Monday. The project aims to combat the housing shortage with 3,000 new units at the former site of Flushing Airport, which was reclaimed by wetlands after its closure in 1984. "For 40 years, this land has just been sitting around," Mayor Eric Adams said. Led by developers Cirrus Workforce Housing and LCOR Incorporated, the development promises 1,300 union construction jobs. The EDC projects $3.2 billion in economic activity generated over the next 30 years. The city calls it a housing victory, but neighbors say they think it's a disaster waiting to happen. "College Point does not have the infrastructure for this. We're not prepared for this. Our roads aren't prepared for this. Our schools aren't prepared for this," civic association president Jennifer Shannon said. "I'm all for seeing some new development," real estate broker Wayne Rose said. "I think it has to be done in a more responsible way. The amount of traffic you're going to be putting onto 20th Avenue is going to make it impossible for us to get in and out." Dr. James Cervino with the Coastal Preservation Network says an overburdened sewer system is already spilling waste into nearby Flushing Bay. But worse, he says, is the prospect of losing the wetlands and a freshwater aquifer to a development. "This also acts as a vacuum cleaner for the residents of Whitestone, College Point, and Flushing. It's a carbon, pollution, dust, and water vacuum cleaner," he said. "What you're going to have is a coast with more rotten-egg smell." And with new development, he says, flooding will get worse. "It's like removing Central Park from New York City," he said. A spokesperson for Cirrus and LCOR told CBS News New York in part: "The proposed development has been carefully planned to prioritize the preservation and enhancement of the site's wetlands through responsible and environmentally sensitive site design. With this in mind, the development will run parallel to 20th Avenue, ensuring that the vast majority of the land will remain undisturbed and preserved as wetland habitat." Cervino is concerned about toxins and pathogens at the site. "You're putting people at risk by moving them into a place where mosquitos breed," he said. The developers vow to remediate the property under the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYS DEC) residential safety guidelines. The EDC told CBS News New York the development will undergo a robust review with environmental, parking, and traffic analysis made publicly available. If approved, the EDC says construction could begin as soon as 2028. For James Cervino, compromising the wetlands comes at too high a cost. "We don't pay for that. We're getting a health prescription for free," he said. You can email Elle with Queens story ideas by CLICKING HERE.
