Veterans Disability Attorney Eric Gang Addresses Transparency and Fairness in VA Disability Claim Assistance

On Jan. 5, 2026, Eric Gang, veterans disability attorney and founder of Gang & Associates, proposed banning contingency fees for VA benefits and requiring upfront flat or hourly fees tied to work performed by non-accredited firms.
Non-Accredited firms charging contingency-style fees has arisen because certain private business models mimic legal representation, especially for PACT Act presumptive conditions, Gang argued the issue stems from their interaction with the VA framework.
Under federal rules on fee charging, Gang highlighted only accredited agents and attorneys may charge fees after claim denial and warned outcome-based fees risk skepticism and strain in the VA claims process.
Proposing limits, Gang emphasized `This is not about limiting choice` and framed limits as a way to shield veterans from unnecessary financial burden while preserving access to informed support.
Via PR Newswire distribution, Gang made his case publicly through Law & Crime and warned these practices could prompt calls for clearer enforcement by policy makers and regulators to protect veterans.
