Resources for Veterans

Veterans Guide Advocacy Center

The Veterans Guide’s mission is to assist veterans with the array of issues they may face, including obtaining proper disability compensation, financial assistance, information on the GI bill, and more. They have created helpful guides and will continuously be adding more. Recently, they made a calculator that helps veterans calculate how much their VA rating should be, especially when it comes to combining ratings and complicated VA math. https://veteransguide.org/
