The 2025 VA Federal Benefits Guide for Veterans, Dependents, Survivors, and Caregivers is a comprehensive reference that details the vast array of benefits and services accessible to veterans, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
The guidebook gives Veterans and their families vital information on VA programs, eligibility requirements, and application procedures. It is accessible in print and digital formats. It contains information about:
- Compensation
- Life insurance
- Pension and fiduciary services
- Education benefits
