VA Handbook

 You may remember at past reunions I made available a small handbook which contained an updated synopsis of veterans’ federal benefits.  The latest edition, 2014, was current until October 1, 2015.  I have learned that the VA will print less than 10 percent of last year’s number of these handbooks for 2015 and will eventually discontinue its publication.

This is the best concise source of your benefits.  It will still remain available online at this location: http://www.va.gov/opa/publications/benefits_book.asp

 In addition to benefits for veterans, this handbook also provides info for dependents and survivors, VA processes, military medals and records and a list of all VA facilities.  It downloads to just a little over 200 pages.

 Yours in service,
