Veteran Benefits Guide was founded by former United States Marine, Joshua Smith. Josh was employed by the Veteran Benefits Administration (VA) as a Rating Veteran Service Representative (Rater). During his tenure at the VA he discovered many inefficiencies in the way Veterans disability ratings were evaluated. He witnessed firsthand how the VA’s method of deciding Veterans’ disability ratings was heavily flawed and designed a system to address those deficiencies. Recognizing the need to provide Veterans a better option for processing their VA disability claims, Josh set out to create a means to expedite them through the VA claim process while also obtaining the benefits Veterans deserve. Years later, VBG has successfully guided over 55,000 Veterans with submitting their VA disability claims, resulting in substantially increased compensation benefits for their disabilities which are related to active duty service.

VBG was proud to sponsor the 2026 Las Vegas Veterans Stand Down on March 4 at the World Market Center.

The one-day event brought together community organizations, service providers and employers to connect Veterans with essential resources — including housing assistance, health care, legal aid, mental health support and employment opportunities.

VBG team members spent the day engaging with attendees at the company’s booth and connecting with Veterans from across Southern Nevada. VBG is honored to support events like the Stand Down that strengthen community and expand access to resources for Veterans.

Thank you to Surf Brigade
for highlighting how VBG champions Veteran resilience, purpose and connection.

Veteran Benefits Guide is built by veterans, for veterans.

They understand the system because they’ve lived it. Every day they help veterans pursue the benefits they’ve earned through their service.

But what stands out is this — they’re not just helping veterans navigate paperwork. They’re investing in veterans as people.

VBG believes resilience isn’t only built through claims and compensation. It’s built through community. Through purpose. Through experiences that help veterans reconnect with who they are beyond the uniform.

That’s why they chose to support Surf Brigade.

Because of their investment, veterans will attend our Surf Retreat in Costa Rica focused on purpose, narrative, and connection. This is curriculum-based surf therapy designed to strengthen identity and build lasting bonds across the veteran community.

Veteran Benefits Guide is putting real resources behind veteran resilience. Not just talking about support. Actually funding it.

If you know a business that wants to invest in the resilience and long-term strength of our veteran community, tag them here so they can see what meaningful support looks like.

And if you’re a veteran with questions about the benefits you earned through your military service, visit their website to learn more.

Big weekend. Big impact.

VBG was all over the Jacksonville area last weekend, showing up for the community in a big way. From meeting fans at PBR Jacksonville: Unleash the Beast to a meet-and-greet with PBR athlete Marco Rizzo at Bass Pro Shops, the energy was electric and the connections were real.

In partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars, VBG presented a grant to The Fire Watch to support its mission of ending Veteran su***de in Florida. Team members also sponsored K9s For Warriors Salute to Heroes Gala and volunteered locally with Travis Manion Foundation — giving back alongside partners dedicated to supporting Veterans and their families.

VBG also met with local government officials and community partners — including the City of Jacksonville Military Affairs and Veterans Department — to continue conversations that advance its mission to serve Veterans.

It was a weekend that celebrated what happens when partnership and purpose come together — leaving a meaningful impact on fans, Veterans, and the community alike.
