About Veterans Evaluations Services – A Maximus Company

VES partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs to fulfill President Lincoln’s promise “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan” by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s veterans.” VES serves Veterans by conducting disability exams for conditions that are a direct result of or aggravated by their time in the military, allowing them to obtain hard-earned benefits in service to our country. VES supports 6,000 active providers serving more than 750,000 Veterans around the world every year.

Our Story

Founded by a Navy Veteran, VES was awarded its first contract by The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 2008 to perform compensation and pension exams. Our dedication to fulfilling President Lincoln’s promise led to the subsequent award of the largest contract in VA history in 2018. At VES, we are proud to fulfill that promise with 1 out of every 7 employees as a Veteran.

VES was acquired by Maximus in 2021. Maximus, founded in 1975, employs more than 35,000 staff and brings the resources and experience of a multinational corporation in administering government services and programs.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT – To honor and serve America’s Veterans and Active-Duty Claimants by providing quality and timely reports through fair and objective evaluations performed by trained professionals in a respectful and hospitable environment.

Key members of our team across the nation are Veterans who proudly served our country. We are proud to be American and we are proud of our service.

As Veterans ourselves, some of us have gone through the VA disability claims process and we understand that our real customers are the Veterans who sacrificed for their country and deserve our utmost respect, compassion and care.
