The VA 100% Disability Maximizer
FWD Assist Publishing
Getting a VA rating is step one. Getting the rating you actually deserve is a different battle. The VA 100% Disability Maximizer gives you the full strategy: how VA math works, which conditions are most likely to push your combined rating higher, how to identify secondary claims you haven't filed yet, and how to document changes in your condition to support a rating increase.
If you're at 60%, 70%, or 80% and you know it's not the full picture, this book is your roadmap.
What This Costs You Without It
Veterans lose thousands every year to the claims industry or to mistakes that could have been avoided with the right information.

Straight answers. No runaround.
What format is The VA 100% Disability Maximizer available in?
The VA 100% Disability Maximizer is delivered as an instant-download PDF. You can read it on any device, print it, and reference it as many times as you need. No DRM, no expiration, no hoops.
Is there a refund policy?

Who wrote this and why should I trust it?
FWD Assist books are written by Joshua Christopherson, a VA disability claims educator and Air Force and Air National Guard disabled veteran with hands-on VSO experience. Every claim strategy, regulatory citation, and procedural step comes from hands-on experience helping real veterans with real claims.
I am already rated. Why would I need this?
Most veterans leave benefits on the table because they do not know what they qualify for beyond their base disability rating. This book covers secondary claims, special monthly compensation, TDIU, and other programs that could significantly increase your total compensation.
Will filing for more benefits put my current rating at risk?
Filing a new claim does not automatically trigger a review of your existing ratings. This book explains protected ratings, when reviews can happen, and how to file strategically without jeopardizing what you already have.
How much could this actually save me?
At $19.97, this book costs less than one month of the lowest VA disability payment. If it helps you secure even a single rating increase or an additional benefit, the return is hundreds or thousands of dollars per month for the rest of your life.
