Product Description
From the author of The Veterans Survival Guide, The Veterans 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 veterans 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 Veterans 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 veterans 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.

Best I've seen dealing with this issue. The author writes with insight, and also, with deep concern for the plight of veterans suffering PTSD.

Veterans's PTSD Handbook: How to File and Collect on Claims for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Highlights the pitfalls of applying for PTSD benefits. Good case history, with insights from a former VA benefit researcher. Easy read, good examples. This book would be especially good for someone who is trying to collect benefits who may not have a local support group.

My husband has found this book to have great value. It has also helped me to understand some of the issues better. I tried to click the rating stars but it wouldn't work. I would recommend this book to those that have served and for those that live with those that have served and suffer from PTSD; it is a helpful handbook.
Essential reading. January 9, 2008

Veterans face many special challenges and obstacles in applying for benefits related to post-traumatic stress disorder - not the least of which is drawing connections between a veteran's service and the disorder whether in combat or noncombatant settings. That's why any collection strong in military resources - and many a general-interest lending library - needs THE VETERAN'S PTSD HANDBOOK: it packs in discussions of how to file a well-grounded claim for benefits, and comes from the four years the author spent helping one veteran establish a 'service connection' for his claim. Essential reading.
