If you are a veteran, a relative of a deceased veteran, or a person who takes care of a veteran that needs to file a claim with thew Veteran's Administration, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! This can save you literally years of processing time, appealing decisions, and otherwise taking your claim farther up the food chain. It tells of the short comings in the VA system and what is going to happen to your claim if you don't dot the Is and cross all the Ts. The VA is not just going to jump in and assist you as you might believe or patrioticaly feel in your heart. Super easy to read, easy to understand, and detailed to the nth degree. DO NOT file a claim with the VA until you've read this book! Do yourself a favor and get this book.
Being a Veterans Benefit Administration Employee myself and working at processing claims, I give this book 5 stars. It is accurate and will help you from getting the dreaded "Denied Letter". It provides an accurate overview of how the VBA system processes your claim and "MOST IMPORTANTLY" how to get everything together and covers every item that we look for to deny you your claim. If you are serious about getting your disability approved, then read this book and build your case and defense properly. Give the VBA employee no excuse to deny your claim from the start. Average time for a Pre-Deternination employee to review your claim when you submit it is 15 minutes to review all your information and to decide whether to Deny or send for further processing up the chain. Do not throw away those 15 minutes. Prepare and give them all the things in their checklist that they are required to have as proof so they can help you. You may want to call this book "Everything the Veterans Benefit Administration does not want you to know" IT IS THAT GOOD! Spend the money, you are going to have enough aggravation getting approved as it is, so do not make it worse by not reading and following this books tips and guidelines. ***** 5 Stars *****Read full review
As a Gulf War Veteran, this book helps you look for and how to put a case that will get you what should come to you and not what the VA want to give to you. That could be little or nothing. This book and the Code of Federal Regulations go hand in hand to help us vets who are needing all the help we need. This book is the base structure for the success to get you going and put a exception case that can give any and all veterans a 100% disability. All the resources put at your fingertips. Major John D. Roche saw that service veteran were being treat unfairly and every presidential administration has been cutting down veterans help. Whether we had been drafted or we chose to volunteer for what ever branch of service we chose to serve in. This is a book I will keep for along time and I will share this information with whom ever is in need for this kind of help against the Veteran's Administration. I wish I had know about this book sooner. I was dianosed with child hood epilepsy and has pregressed to much greater stage, of which I can have an attack with out warning and as a nurse aid it is hard to have a good job like working in a hospital. The reason, they don't want a liability. This is were this kind of book comes in handy for someone like me with this sort of condition that happened while in the army.

I own a copy of the original book that came out in 2002. I purchased this current book to have the more updated version. I have served in two branches of the military and I have used this book religiously both times I separated from the service. Every veteran should have a copy of this book on their bookshelf. If not for them, then for a friend or family member who served and needs a little advice working on their claim. No one walks away without some sort of injury or alement that bothers them. If you are a veteran do yourself a favor and buy this book.
