The Veteran's Survival Guide: How to File and Collect on VA Claims

by John D. Roche

Any collection catering to veterans needs this ‘bible’ of information. — Midwest Book Review "Claim denied!" All too often millions of veterans have received this response to their legitimate claims for federal benefits. In most cases, writes veterans' advocate John D. Roche, the claimant didn't understand the procedures needed to meet the myriad requirements of the Department of Veterans Affairs. With the appeals process requiring years to resolve disputes, deserving veterans and their dependents are left confused and frustrated by the agency and a system that was created to serve them. The answer is to submit a well-grounded claim initially, which The Veteran's Survival Guide , now in a revised, second edition, analyzes in detail. This unique book, written in an accessible self-help style, will be required reading for any veteran or veteran's dependent who wishes to obtain his or her well-earned benefits and for those officials of veterans' service organizations who assist veterans with their claims.

This book was pretty good in expressing how to file for VA benefits for disabled veterans. I think it would help those who are looking to claim their rightful benefits.
