    Navigating Veterans Benefits Can Be Confusing. Find Your Clear Path Forward.

    A Starting Place for Veterans is an independent consulting service dedicated to providing the resources and educational information veterans and their families need. We help you prepare your paperwork to be submitted to the VA, because we believe a lack of information should never be the reason a veteran misses out on the services they deserve.
