The Veteran's PTSD Handbook

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.

PTSD Handbook Review

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.

Veterans's PTSD Handbook

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.

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. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
