Despite the rhetoric of "We can't do enough for you" that has bombarded veterans since the early 1980s, veterans' benefits are constantly being downsized, measured only by bottom-line costs. Gone are the pledges of a nation grateful for the sacrifices of those who have served. The results: a Veterans Administration with a diminished budget, and millions of veterans whose legitimate claims for federal benefits are denied, in most cases because the claimants don't understand the procedures needed to meet the VA's myriad requirements. With the appeals process requiring years to resolve disputes, deserving veterans and their dependents are left confused and frustrated by the agency and a system that was created to serve them. In The Veteran's Survival Guide, veterans' advocate John D. Roche equips veterans with the knowledge they need to submit well-grounded claims the first time, stating as Rule #1 that, "If you don't submit evidence to support your claim it will be denied." Written in an accessible self-help style, The Veteran's Survival Guide should be required reading for all veterans or veterans' dependents who wish to obtain their well-earned benefits, and for those officials of veterans' service organizations whose job it is to assist veterans with their claims.

From the author of The Veteran's Survival Guide, The Veteran's PTSD Handbook addresses the obstacles that veterans face when filing for benefits related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). One of the greatest obstacles, John Roche writes, is establishing a connection between a veteran's service and PTSD. Because both combat stressors and noncombat stressors can cause PTSD and because of the difficulties in diagnosing the condition, filing a successful claim for benefits based on PTSD is difficult. In the same accessible, self-help style used in The Veteran's Survival Guide, Roche offers detailed instructions on how to prepare a well-grounded claim for veterans' benefits relating to PTSD. He also discusses the four years he spent helping one veteran establish a "service connection" for his PTSD claim with Veterans Affairs. This book will be required reading for any veteran or veteran's dependent who wishes to obtain his or her well-earned benefits and for those officials of veterans' service organizations who assist veterans with their claims.

This book is written specifically for Combat Veterans (and their Loved Ones) by one of their own. Combat Vets who have come home from past wars as well as those returning from Iraq/Afghanistan will find precious insights in these pages that honestly and accurately reflect their experience. They will also find a clear exploration of that huge leap every Vet must make as they leave the world of war and try to complete the journey home. This book offers Combat Vets a perspective into the universality of the human experience of war. Their Loved Ones will be given a glimpse into a world far different than their own. It is a glimpse that will help to engender understanding. This book is both broad and narrow in scope. We will take a direct look at the dark underbelly of combat. We'll look at the nasty stuff that normally gets pushed aside, kept politely out of sight. The process is painful and dark but the truth of it needs to be hauled out into the light. Again, it will help Loved Ones to begin to understand. We will explore the latest research that reveals new insights about stress, the brain, trauma and recovery. We'll explore the concept of 'Survivorship', how it applies to the Spiral of combat and what it all means to Combat Vets down the road. We will also identify specific strategies with which to protect your marriage and your family, and begin the healing journey. We will weave these threads together to create both insight and a practical helping hand in the process of Bringing It Home.
