Each module includes training on eligibility requirements, application procedures, claims processing, and rates of payment.

ADVISOR is a training tool for Veteran Service Representatives (VSRs) who work at the VBA regional offices, and Veterans' Service Organization (VSO) representatives. ADVISOR is accessible to users from the VBA internet site: http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/advisor/runtime/. It allows users to learn facts about veterans' benefits and since the program is delivered through the computer, users can learn about veterans' benefits without leaving the office or the desk.
