Product Description
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.

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.

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.

Essential reading., 2008-01-09
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.

I'm sure the books are great; if I ever receive them. They have been shipped three times and I still haven't received them! The third time they were shipped they still went to the wrong address. Getting Amazon.com's customer support phone number has been like breaking the DeVinci code.
