These firms saw a chance to profit.: Despite a federal law that prohibits charging veterans for help in applying for disability benefits, for-profit companies are making millions. - "The overwhelmed veterans agency says the government is all but powerless to stop the practice, particularly since Congress years ago stripped criminal penalties from the law. And now a cadre of mostly Republican lawmakers is pushing to do away with the restrictions altogether, a plan bankrolled by a well-funded industry group led by a former high-ranking Trump administration VA official."
