All
Concerned: This
is a list I got from the Special
Operations Association guys. Most
of you may already know it, but it's
a good concise list to copy and keep
close until needed.. Also, some
like me, are in the business of
helping Vets that might not already
know it, and maybe can pass it on to
someone in need of these services.
Comment:
Someone has gone to a lot of
trouble. If this helps one person,
then it was worthwhile. Please pass
this on to all Veterans on you
e-mail list.
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.
