"Preserving Lawful Utilization of Services for Veterans Act"; provide restrictions on persons assisting with claims.

Summary

The bill would prohibit anyone from receiving compensation for assisting veterans with benefit claims unless the veteran signs a waiver confirming they are within the one‑year presumptive period and are choosing to forgo free services. It also forces service providers to give a clear disclosure that they are not affiliated with the VA, to use a written fee agreement, and to limit fees to either five times the monthly benefit increase or $12,500, whichever is less. Violations would be treated as unfair trade practices and could trigger civil penalties.
