Vbm

[john999]

Tell me again how I get the 2006 VMB. I could use it as a good reference for the future. Do you recommend the CD's on the CFR also?

VBM = Veteran's Benefits Manual.

You can purchase through Lexisnexis I believe, around $150.00.

Berta has the exact info.

Well worth the $$.

Maybe this one is better - bookstore 1-800-223-1940 or www.lexisnexis.com

Also it should be at the NVLSP Home page but they have no info on the new edition yet-

John -tell them you are at hadit.com daily as a veteran's advocate and maybe you can get a discount-

I usually pay $130.00 but maybe because I have bought this since 1991.

If you go through NVLSP to get it tell them Berta Simmons recommended you get it for veteran's claims advocacy and that might get the price reduced too-some of their lawyers know me-

maybe- I dont know why I get a discount- I have donated cash to them- maybe that is why-

Actually they hand then out free when available at the VSO and other VA offices at the VAMC.

That is the little short government publication not the VBM that is 1000 pages. I know what you are talking about. It is a bare bones sketch of our benefits.

A WW11 vet mailed me the 1999 edition as a gift. I loved it and read it everyday for years! I know a few laws have changed so I'm ready for a newer edition. I rarely have an extra $162 dollars (for the set) lying around, but looking back - - it's well worth the price, especially if you are doing advocacy work for vets! They also have CD editions, but the book is a good kick back and read! Here's the link for purchase
