This book was written to help Veterans make their way through the maze of VA regulations, written and unwritten, that prevents them from attaining service connection. The VA, like any governmental entity, is difficult to work with. They do everything on paper and have not advanced to electronic files yet. Only 12-15 percent of VA claims are approved due to red tape and a misunderstanding of what is required. VA prefers you use Veterans Service Organizations to file your claims. I feel Veterans are not very well served by this method and advocate a do it yourself approach. This works well until you get to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims(CAVC) at that point, you would be best served by having a good attorney and nothing less.

Federal Tort Claims ...THIS BOOK COVERS THEM ALL!"...this book's sections form a comprehensive guide to the process and benefits available for U.S. military veterans and their families. "And the beauty of this book is that it is a compact, portable reference for veterans and/or their family members when the need to know something about Veterans Law or VA benefits arises. More often than not, people contact me or other attorneys or veterans advocates for help on such matters, but many times those services incur costs. This book is a low-cost, simple guide to understanding the process and the bureaucracy. It does not eliminate the need for competent counsel on such matters, as this is not the purpose of this work. This book is designed to educate laymen on veterans matters, and better prepare them to ask questions of the VA or legal counsel, should the need arise. In the words of Sir Francis Bacon, 'Knowledge is power.'" This book is powerful!~ Judge Hal Moroz, U.S. Army Retired, from the Preface

Despite the rhetoric of "We can't do enough for you" that has bombarded veterans since the early 1980s, veterans' benefits are constantly being downsized, measured only by bottom-line costs. Gone are the pledges of a nation grateful for the sacrifices of those who have served. The results: a Veterans Administration with a diminished budget, and millions of veterans whose legitimate claims for federal benefits are denied, in most cases because the claimants don't understand the procedures needed to meet the VA's myriad requirements. With the appeals process requiring years to resolve disputes, deserving veterans and their dependents are left confused and frustrated by the agency and a system that was created to serve them. In The Veteran's Survival Guide, veterans' advocate John D. Roche equips veterans with the knowledge they need to submit well-grounded claims the first time, stating as Rule #1 that, "If you don't submit evidence to support your claim it will be denied." Written in an accessible self-help style, The Veteran's Survival Guide should be required reading for all veterans or veterans' dependents who wish to obtain their well-earned benefits, and for those officials of veterans' service organizations whose job it is to assist veterans with their claims.
