If you want to learn how to implement these strategies to get the VA benefits you deserve, click here to speak with a VA claim expert for free.

Brian Reese shares his transformational journey of overcoming mental and physical pain to create one of the world’s largest communities of U.S. military veterans, called VA Claims Insider.

“Surround yourself with fellow veterans. The patriots and the heroes. Those who raised their right hand and took an oath to defend freedom. But most of all surround yourselves with brothers and sisters who feel your pain, who know your struggles, and who would do anything for you and you for them.”

– Brian Reese

WARNING: “I’m About to Get Uncomfortably Vulnerable”

Warning Sign

I’m scared.

I’m embarrassed.

I’m in pain.

But deep down I know a fellow veteran needs to hear this today…

Maybe that person is you.

Stay with me.

This is going to get uncomfortable.


Brian Reese: “I Should Be Dead…”

Brian Reese Military PTSD

PTSD.

Bipolar.

Anxiety.

Depression.

Insomnia.

Alcohol.

Drugs.

Overeating.

Divorce.

Lost a job.

Misery.

Pain.

Fear.

Self-destruction.

Suicidal thoughts.

That was me just a few short years ago…

I lost my identity and sense of purpose after leaving the military.

I didn’t know who I was anymore.

I thought I was the only one dealing with mental and physical pain.

So, I did what many veterans do…

I suffered alone in silence.


Brian Reese VA Claims Insider: “I Nearly Drank Myself to Death…”

I should be dead.

I was shattered and broken.

I couldn’t stand on my own two feet.

I didn’t even recognize the man in the mirror.

I was an alcoholic and a drug addict.

I did anything and everything I could do to numb the pain.

But then in my deepest, darkest pain and suffering…


No Question “God Showed Up”

God Showed Up and Changed My Life

HE told me I was His son.

HE told me I was created for a greater purpose.

HE told me I was here to serve veterans and give them hope.

HE told me to use my pain and suffering for good:

TO CREATE A COMMUNITY WHERE VETERANS BELONG.

TO GIVE VETERANS HOPE & JOY AGAIN.

TO HELP VETERANS CELEBRATE LIFE CHANGE.

And here’s what happened to me personally along the way:

  • I (finally) got help for my mental health issues and physical pain.
  • I (quit) drinking, doing drugs, and binge eating.
  • I (discovered) love, happiness, and connection again by serving veterans.

I’m alive today because of YOU.

THANK YOU!

I mean it.

You Saved My Life.

I exist to help you create the life you were meant to live, regardless of how stuck, frustrated, alone, and unhappy you might feel right now…


My Purpose is to Help Veterans Celebrate LIFE CHANGE!

VA Claims Insider helps veterans celebrate Life Change

There is a way out.

You can begin to heal.

You can reclaim your identity.

You can be happy again.

I believe I’m alive today to show you “HOW.”

Dear Veteran,
Here’s the brutal truth about VA disability claims:

According to our data, 8/10 (80%) of veterans reading this message right now are underrated by the VA…

This means you do NOT currently have the VA disability rating and compensation YOU deserve, and you could be missing out on thousands of dollars of tax-free compensation and benefits each month.

As a fellow disabled Veteran this is shameful and I’m on a mission to change it.
