BEST DAMN BOOK ON VA CLAIMS EVER WRITTEN!

When I got my hands on "The Veteran's Survival Guide - How to File and Collect on VA Claims" I realized at once, that this was "the gold standard" of this genre. This is truly the best and most helpful book on the subject that I have come across in my 3 decades of helping veterans. There are none better! Author John D. Roche has taken all his personal experience of having worked for the VA and for veterans in Florida and put it into readable simple and easy to follow language. Not only does he tell you what to do, but he also gives you insights on how the VA operates and makes decisions on claims. If you have a claim to file or have one being processed right now - then you should run down and buy this book. I sincerely mean that. You cannot afford not to have a copy of this book that you can reference back to for information. I most highly recommend this book for every veteran. Sometime in your life you or your family may need this information. The MWSA awards this book FIVE STARS - the highest rating we can give. This book gets the MWSA President's Personal Endorsement.

Best Veterans Guide Ever

I have served in two previous wars, Vietnam and Desert Storm and also on several other long tours of peace time duty. When I was recalled from retirement to go to Iraq I was already a 10% disabled veteran. I thought I knew, or at least thought I had a better then average laymans knowledge of the VA Compensation and Pension system. Little did I know, until I read Mr. Roche's book how little I really knew and what misconceptions I had. This book is a must for every armed forces veteran who has served in war or peace and has ever been injured or treated for an illness while on active duty. Mr. Roche writes in a clear and concise style and he presents the facts without being dry and technical. This book is a must purchase.

God Bless Mr. Roche

I was injured in Viet Nam, and have been looking for these records for 20 years, and now thanks to Mr Roche and his book, I have now found these records. This was after the VA had told me that they would find the records for me, which they did not. This is a must read for all veteran that deal with the VA. Thank you Mr Roche!!

Finally a book on how to REALLY DEAL with the VA

Finally a book on how to really deal with the VA! For 30 years my husband fought with the VA to get his disability. With the help of author John Roach and this "survival guide", his disability was finally granted this year. This book has an easy to understand approach with the information you can't get from the VA or anyplace else. No one should attempt the VA claims process without this book. A "must have" for every veteran.
