Ive belonged to many groups on facebook that help veterans and by far Veterans Claims Assistance Group has given accurate and helpful information.  I had no idea how much was involved with VA claims!  They helped me to understand the law va has that concerns my claim and i doubt very much that i would have had a successful outcome had it not been for them.
