There are many good online resources to help you file a VA benefits claim.
We recommend, as one good resource, How to File a VA Claim for Disability Compensation at StatesideLegal.org.
If you learn better by listening, rather than by reading, you may want to listen the archived version of Maine attorney Francis Jackson's 2013 presentation on Veteran Benefits, as part of the Maine Lawyers in Libraries series.
Also, Veteran Jim Strickland will answer your questions about VA claims and benefits on Statesidelegal.org. Jim also hosts this helpful site: The A to Z Guide: Veterans VA Disability Benefits.
