Committed to providing the latest, up-to-date information to Veterans
on the health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
Replace missing DD-214's and obtain copies of military records.
A site that covers everything military, from benefits, pay scales,
state-by-state benefits,
also lists corporations offering military and veteran discounts.
Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits
and how to file/ask for
them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain
books,
military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied
claim with the VA.
Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly
100% of this
information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is: you
have to ask for it,
because they won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for
it. You need to
know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you -- and
then be ready to have
an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the
process, and press for
your rights and your best interests.
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the
following
website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online:
