New VA Resource Navigator: Finding VA resources

VA has developed a new tool, the Resource Navigator to help Veterans easily find and use VA resources.

Resource Navigator

________________________________________________________________________

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, This could be your VSO or the vet rep from your local Disabled American Veterans, American Legion, or VFW posts.
