Riassunto

As soldiers return from war, they begin the difficult process of reassimilating into society. Numerous government acts have been passed over the years to help make this transition easier for our Veterans. Veterans Rights and Benefits is written for the returning, and active, soldier and his or her family in an effort to clarify those rights and benefits available to them, as well as explain some of the obstacles they may encounter in seeking them. The alamanac explains such rights and benefits as: BLbasic health care, including specializations including PTSD or amputation therapies BLeducation and vocational rehabilitation, which spans from college education and funding to basic reintigration rehabilitation BLcompensation and pension benefits, applications, qualifications, and spousal support BLhome loans, applications, qualifications, and rate details BLlife insurance, terms of applications and extent of coverage BLburial and survivor benefits. The role of the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in coordinating and administering these benefits, . Sample application forms, and process instructions are included, as well as the appeals process should a claim not be fully approved. Offered programs and facilities, including medical facilities and cemetary directories, are mentioned, and resources are provided for further listings. The appendices include listings of benefit centers and military installations for all branches of the armed services. Sample applications, and the beneficial legislation have been provided, as well as participating insurance companies.

In 2004, Ms. Jasper successfully argued a case before the New York Court of Appeals, which gives mothers of babies who are stillborn due to medical negligence the right to bring a legal action and recover emotional distress damages. This successful appeal overturned a 26-yearold New York case precedent, which previously prevented mothers of stillborn babies to sue their negligent medical providers.
