To soldiers and their families coping with the shock and reality of the injuries, figuring out what to do next—even completing tasks that seem easy like submitting paperwork—can be overwhelming and confusing. The second edition of this popular resource guide has been thoroughly revised to reflect new policies, additional benefits, updated procedures, and changes to insurance, including traumatic injury insurance and social security disability insurance. New chapters cover veterans' benefits in depth—which have seen significant changes in the last two years—and returning to active duty after an injury. As in the previous edition, this guide directs you to answers and resources for the most pressing and difficult questions that wounded veterans face, such as: Where can I find information on symptoms and treatments of injuries? How do I get through all this paperwork? Where can I get legal assistance? What can I do for employment? How do I get back into everyday life? How can I return to active duty? How do I deal with insurance? What benefits are available to me, and how do I claim them? What about my family? How can they help me? This trusted resource is both comprehensive and easy to use, and now the most up-to-date guide for wounded veterans and their families dealing with active-duty injuries.

Book Synopsis Wounded Warrior Care and Reintegration Requires a Public-private Partnership by : National Defense University

This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In present day combat, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFPs) are the enemy's principal weapons of choice. Due to medical advances, many service men and women are alive today that normally would have expired from their injuries in the past, thus creating a greater burden on society and the government for their care. Existing infrastructure and care providers at Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are insufficient to deal withthe long term inpatient care of 50,806 unpredicted wounded warriors (excluding Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder numbers, which are often outpatient care; when included the numbers rise to 266,810 and 800,000 respectively) While some upgrades to existing hospitals have occurred and some new facilities have been built, the military medical system is overwhelmed. An integral part of the National Security Strategy and the moral imperative that guides this country is the obligation to assist veterans during their recovery. Based upon the current fiscal status of the nation and sequestration, the current model is unsustainable and requires a construct that is financially supportable and leverages a public-private partnership with American society to properly care for and reintegrate wounded warriors. A public-private partnership with universities and philanthropic organizations will bring care to wounded warriors that the government is unable to provide. Furthermore, a public-private partnership with non-profit organizations will move society closer to those who serve, raising awareness and creating potential funding streams for reintegration."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Bridging the Gap, Increasing Awareness and Understanding of the Wounded Warriors by : Jeanne Elizabeth Brady
Download or read book Bridging the Gap, Increasing Awareness and Understanding of the Wounded Warriors written by Jeanne Elizabeth Brady and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Since October 2001, our nation has had a continuous presence of service members in Afghanistan to support Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Since 2003, the United States had service members in Iraq to support Operation Iraqi Freedom (OW) with the last troops to leave in December of 2011. In total, approximately 2.4 million United States service members have deployed as part of OIF and OEF (Spelman et al., 2012).The nature of the enemy tactical engagement in the OlF and OEF wars has resulted in the largest proportion of identified TBIs in any conflict in the nation's history (French & Parkinson, 2008). Research shows that as many as 11% to 23% of the service members may have mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) from injuries sustained by blasts or explosions (Shultz et al., 2011). The complexity of brain injuries is further complicated by associated physical and psychological injuries that were sustained in the context of war (French & Parkinson, 2008), and is still in its infancy of being understood (Lehman, 2008).Professionally, health practitioners are now faced with a new population of young service members with severe combat related injuries, both physical and psychological, and they need to prepare themselves for conditions not experienced to this magnitude since the end of the Vietnam era (Nanof, 2007). Wounded warrior (WW) and veteran care is a new and emerging occupational therapy (OT) practice area and there are currently limited resources available to prepare OTs to enter this emerging field.To address this problem, an online continuing education course will be developed for OTs to expand their knowledge and skills in critical areas related to the rehabilitation of WWs with mTBI.
Book Synopsis PTSD in Returning Wounded Warriors by : Bryan A. Liang
Download or read book PTSD in Returning Wounded Warriors written by Bryan A. Liang and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent military engagements including Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom have created a tremendously large cohort of wounded warriors returning with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Indeed, PTSD is deemed a “signature” wound of these conflicts. Yet PTSD is as ancient as war itself, and has been recognized in the US as early as the Civil War. But getting assistance requires navigating a highly complex disability claims process while these veterans are disabled. Further, the process has is flawed on clinical and legal bases. The disability system for wounded warriors prohibits attorney assistance at the outset, or even any charges beyond $10 for assistance - the level set during the Civil War. Further, the determination of disability is not premised upon clinically recognized standards and characteristics such as the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM) for mental health disorders. This system results in a legal, medical, and ethical failure to adhere to the social contract for these military personnel. In response, we propose reform addressing these system weaknesses. Through federal statute, we first address medical evaluation standards. Wounded warrior disability determinations would be required to exclusively employ clinical definitions based on the DSM. These evaluations could be performed by both VA physicians as well as those outside the VA. Such a system will maximize the number of wounded warriors recognized for potential PTSD and available for assistance. We then address the legal concerns. Taking the successful Social Security Administration system that as a model, we propose a similar system for wounded warriors to allow lawyer assistance to navigate the complex VA disability system. Reasonable caps on fees would be put into place. Through this reformed system, wounded warriors returning from recent and future conflicts can be assured that when they return home, their injuries will be addressed using a medically sound standards, they will be able to access needed legal assistance, and the social contract between them and their country is fulfilled.
Download or read book War and the Soul written by Edward Tick and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and PTSD are on the public's mind as news stories regularly describe insurgency attacks in Iraq and paint grim portraits of the lives of returning soldiers afflicted with PTSD. These vets have recurrent nightmares and problems with intimacy, can’t sustain jobs or relationships, and won’t leave home, imagining “the enemy” is everywhere. Dr. Edward Tick has spent decades developing healing techniques so effective that clinicians, clergy, spiritual leaders, and veterans’ organizations all over the country are studying them. This book, presented here in an audio version, shows that healing depends on our understanding of PTSD not as a mere stress disorder, but as a disorder of identity itself. In the terror of war, the very soul can flee, sometimes for life. Tick's methods draw on compelling case studies and ancient warrior traditions worldwide to restore the soul so that the veteran can truly come home to community, family, and self.
