He was and it is. The va website itself is a wealth of information on what the process is and how to work through it. /r/veterans is still a great source of specific information despite the recent troubles.
And it turns out, if you dont want to learn about the va process, you can still get shit done by asking one of the organizations who have been helping vets for nearly a hundred years to walk you through the process.
I'm less than impressed that this is happening, but also not surprised. The company is another one preying on veterans inability to speak out for themselves and taking advantage of their willful and/or regular ignorance. The support for veterans is there, but a company that charges huge amounts of money to tell you how to lie to the va so you can 'get your percent raised' is exactly the sort of thing that a disgruntled veteran who tried nothing and is all out of ideas would pursue.
The va isnt there to keep you from your benefits. It's there because companies, and veterans like this keep trying to lie and game the system so they can get what the want rather than what they deserve. It's also got it's own problems, but lying to get what you want isnt the way this should be handled.
