About Veteran Benefits Guide
VBG was founded by former United States Marine, Joshua Smith. After his honorable discharge, Josh was employed by the Veteran Benefits Administration (VA) as a Rating Veteran Service Representative (Rater). While working in this capacity, Josh was thoroughly trained on the VA’s Disability Compensation System. During this tenure at the VA, he discovered many inefficiencies in the way Veterans’ disability ratings were determined. Josh witnessed firsthand that the VA’s methods were inefficient and flawed so he and his wife, Lauren, created VBG to ensure that Veterans receive the correct disability benefits in a timely manner.
