The 2013 Vbm Is Out!

[Berta]

YUM YUM 2204 pages Mine just came.

If you already have an account with Lexis Nexus you will probably get it in the mail if you on on automatic delivery.

Many wonder why they get a new VBM that has so much of the older stuff in it as well as new stuff.

For 7 years I worked for a law firm and we got updated supplements all the time.

It was miserable to deal with laws and then have to go to the most recent citations and supplements in order to have the most current info.

VBM contains updates ,within each chapter that prevents the need for publishing supplements.

They did publish a supplement once in 1991 or 1992 and I found it was very difficult to keep cross referencing to the actual VBM they sent out that same year.

The VBM has helped me succeed in all of my claims.

It is imperative in my opinion for vet reps to use the VBM but they usually dont..

And I feel it is imperative that us hardcore advocates have it.

150 plus S&H, and tax , and 120 plus S&H and tax for Advocates.

It might be at amazon too by now.

Thanks, Berta!! I've been patiently waiting and, in fact, was going to ask, today, if anyone had received theirs' yet. Guess mine should be here in a day or two.

What is the VBM? and do all disable Veterans get it, and do we need it?

Thanks for the information, I'm new to the VA disability way of life, so I need to try and not miss anything.

Thanks in advance.

What is the VBM?

Veterans Benefits Manual - you can google some links for more on it.

and do all disable Veterans get it,

Not unless you order it and pay for it.

and do we need it?

IMO - if anyone has vba claim / benefit issue, YES - YES - YES

I agree w/carlie, everyone should have one. The difference when fighting the VA on a claim is like day & night. Think about being blindfolded at the rifle range. That's what it's like w/o the VBM. jmo
