Good list to print for reference.
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.
