I don’t know anywhere else you can get 40 minute long instruction and training on VA Forms besides the Veterans Law Blog.  So tell another Veteran about the benefits of being an Annual Subscriber.  Use the buttons at the end of this post to share it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or send an email to another Vet!

I promise you…it’s only going to get BETTER from here.

* The first thing you should do when you get a VA Rating Decision.

* How  to properly calendar your Notice of Disagreement Deadline.

* The part that everybody skips over – and how it lays out your appeal

      I wanted to publish it 3 months ago, but I had to put on hold while we got some necessary repairs to the back-end of the blog, got its own home set up, etc.

      Still very much a one-man operation, although I am hoping to change that….that’s the reason it’s taking so long.

      Thanks for checking in!
