Mesothelioma Veteran Center

. Veterans account for an estimated 30 percent of all mesothelioma legal cases. Veterans of the U.S. military account for nearly a third of all mesothelioma legal cases — and those veterans qualify for special financial benefits from the Veterans Administration (VA).
Veterans are a special group. Unfortunately, these men and women are at higher risk today than the general population for developing an asbestos-related illness like mesothelioma cancer. This is a result of the military's past reliance on asbestos, the primary cause of the disease, and the civilian jobs these veterans performed when they left the service.

What is Mesothelioma?Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs or abdomen that is caused by exposure to asbestos. In over 30% of all mesothelioma cases, asbestos exposure happened during military service. Veterans from all branches of service are at risk, with the most common being the United States Navy and the Marines. There are a variety of mesothelioma treatments available, as well as doctors in the VA system who are capable of treating it.
Veterans Benefits are available for people in the form of VA Disability, Aid & Attendance and more. Learn more about Asbestos in the military and the benefits available for you.

Mesothelioma Lawyer Center

Mesothelioma Lawyer Center works to inform the public on the options available to mesothelioma victims. Our efforts are to help asbestos victims. Veterans and their families are entitled to
financial compensation for their medical bills and pain and suffering. Tragically, many of our Veterans who were deemed "expendable" by asbestos companies do not even know about their legal options--asbestos companies are literally getting away with murder.

Recovery Village - Veteran Assistance

Recovery Village is an organization with locations across the country, dedicated to helping those struggling with substance abuse into recovery.

Many men and women who have bravely served our country are sadly left with painful memories they wish they didn't have. In many cases, veterans turn to drugs and alcohol as a way to deal with these thoughts, especially PTSD. Luckily, there are resources available to help.

2016 National Defense Act Contains Education and GI Bill Changes

The 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was signed into law by President Obama on November 25, 2015. There are many education and GI Bill changes in the new law, we will cover a few of the major changes here.
The Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP) GI Bill Is Ending
According to the law, the REAP program ended on the date the law was signed, November 25. However, those people who currently or previously were in the REAP program have until November 25, 2019 to use their benefits. According to the VA, around 13,700 people used REAP in fiscal year 2014, the most recent date for which they provide data. The number of people using REAP has been declining around 25% annually since the inception of the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2009 since most recipients are eligible for both programs and the Post-9/11 GI Bill is far more generous.
Reserve Reintegration Programs
Reservists and Guard Members will get more reintegration and quality of life training before during and after activations, mobilizations, and deployments. They will now receive 4 paid training sessions.
1.     One pre-mobilization session focusing on preparing eligible individuals and affected communities for the rigors of activation, mobilization, and deployment.
2.     One mid-deployment session focusing on helping them cope with the challenges and stress associated with mobilization, decreasing feeling of isolation during mobilization, and preparing them for the challenges associated with reintegration.
3.     Two post-deployment session focusing on:
o    reconnecting them with their families, friends, and communities;
o    providing information on employment opportunities;
o    helping them deal with the challenges of reintegration;
o    ensuring they understand what benefits they are entitled to and what resources are available to help them overcome the challenges of reintegration; and
o    providing a forum for addressing negative behaviors related to operational stress and reintegration.
Expansion of Education Counseling During Outbriefing
Congress feels there is not enough training on the various education opportunities available to veterans during the required Transition Assistance Program (TAP) training. This is evidenced by numerous GAO reports that say the military and VA aren't doing enough to help separating members transition to civilian life, and numerous veterans reporting problems finding work after leaving the service. To that end, they have inserted language into the law to require TAP training to include:
1.     Preparation for higher education or training.
2.     Preparation for career or technical training.
3.     Preparation for entrepreneurship.
4.     Other training options as necessary.
No More Unemployment While Getting The GI Bill
Congress was surprised and upset to learn that many veterans were receiving free tuition at school, a housing allowance to pay all their housing costs, $1,000 a year book stipend from their GI Bill and then turning around and drawing unemployment. This was a loophole in the law nobody saw coming and apparently quite a few people took advantage of, enough to cause Congress to insert language into the law prohibiting the receipt of unemployment benefits while receiving the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
