Services for Veterans, Service Members, Caregivers & Families
Field Grade Advisory Group is an independent, veteran-focused healthcare consulting and educational firm led and managed by Brooke Hossfeld, MPH, CIC, MLS(ASCP)CM.
Our operating team provides general benefits education, administrative healthcare navigation, medical-record organization for personal use, professional-resource navigation, and long-term support planning.
We do not prepare, present, or prosecute VA benefits claims or provide medical, legal, financial, or claim-specific advice.
Veteran Benefits Education & Navigation
Learn about VA benefit programs, common terminology, official resources, and the roles of accredited representatives.
This service provides general education. It does not evaluate individual eligibility, recommend a claim or appeal strategy, or prepare VA filings.
EDUCATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL SERVICES

Â
Each offering is designed to provide clearer information, better organization, and reliable resources while respecting the roles of VA personnel, licensed professionals, and VA-accredited representatives.
VA Decision Review and Appeals Resources
Review general information about Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Reviews, and Board Appeals, with links to official VA resources and accredited assistance.
This is an educational resource—not a decision-review, evidence-analysis, or appeals-strategy service.
Medical Records Organization & Healthcare Summary
Turn complex healthcare records into an organized chronology, index, and personal-reference resource for healthcare discussions, care coordination, and family planning.
We do not analyze records for service connection, ratings, claims, appeals, or benefit eligibility.
SMC, Aid & Attendance, and Caregiver Program Education
Understand the general purposes and terminology associated with Special Monthly Compensation, Aid & Attendance, and VA caregiver programs.
Â
We do not assess eligibility, recommend compensation levels, prepare applications, or assist with claims and appeals.
Independent Professional Resource & Referral Navigation
Learn about the different types of independent legal, medical, healthcare, financial, and accredited professionals available.
We may provide official directories, publicly available official contact information, or an authorized administrative introduction.
Â
Clients independently select and engage their professionals.
CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE
If you are unsure which educational or organizational service fits your needs, schedule a general service discussion with the Field Grade Advisory Group operating team.
Please provide only a brief description of the general topic or organizational need. Do not upload medical records, VA decisions, claim evidence, appeal documents, or unrelated sensitive information before the service scope has been confirmed.
For assistance with a particular VA claim, decision, rating, effective date, or appeal, contact a VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization representative, claims agent, or attorney.
