Congress calls for a crackdown on companies charging disabled vets

Erik Jensen, 67, is seen at his home in Warrenton, Ore. He served in the Navy for 30 years before retiring in 2007. While veterans are entitled to free support from accredited services to navigate their disability benefits, Jensen sought out the services of Trajector Medical. The company charged him $12,000.

Congress is calling for action in response to reporting last week from NPR that "claim shark" companies are using aggressive tactics to make millions off of veterans, despite warnings from VA's that it may be illegal.
