Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and
how to file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that
explain how to obtain books, military/medical records,
information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA.
Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and
available for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they won't tell you about a
specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open
for you - and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the
process, and press for your rights and your best interests.
