Hundreds of thousands of servicemen were exposed to asbestos over decades, especially during the period from 1940 to 1980.  Asbestos was used in construction of naval vessels as well as shore facilities.  All branches of the military used asbestos, which was also widely used in civilian applications.  Asbestos can cause mesothelioma.  Because this cancer has a particularly long latency period, many servicemen who were exposed years ago are now developing this disease.

Special Report: Get Your Back Pay - Retroactive Stop Loss Special Pay
Benefits

\\\\\\\\\\

By ROBERT L. HANAFIN, Major, USAF-Retired

We at Veterans Today ask our readers to assist the Pentagon in getting the word out to those who just may qualify for compensation for having been involuntarily STOP LOSSED. Though first informed about how Airmen may benefit, we took the time to look up links for how Army and Marine Corps Veterans can apply. Our understanding is that basically these payments effect only those Veterans kept on active duty beyond their overall service commitment or military retirement. For details read the rest of the story.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is telling university officials nationwide there will be a six- to eight-week delay in processing payments under the new GI bill, citing a massive backlog of applications.

By Shane Ersland, The Daily Iowan, U. of Iowa

After five years of active duty in the Army and four days into his second year at the University of Iowa, Drew Mangler is unsure how he will pay his rent.

Mangler, like roughly 60 other UI students, applied for financial aid for the new Post-9/11 GI Bill. But, to the veterans' dismay, only three have been processed.

"I worked all summer, so hopefully, that will cover [rent]," he said. "But I'll probably have to get another job."

With a massive military drawdown from Iraq and Afghanistan potentially on the horizon, lawyers for the veterans want a federal appeals court to order the Department of Veterans Affairs to make good on the nation's commitment to take care of those wounded in mind as well as body.

News: Veterans affected by VA hospital errors to file claims
Benefits

va-claimsSome now have HIV, hepatitis after being exposed to infectious body fluids

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - An attorney is preparing to ask the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to pay disability benefits and damages for hospital mistakes that may have exposed veterans to infectious body fluids — a complaint that he said could ultimately multiply into many more such demands.

The attorney, Mike Sheppard of Nashville, said he is preparing to file claims with the VA for about 60 veterans, including three women.

Among them are veterans who have tested positive for HIV and hepatitis and others who suffered emotional distress after the VA provided them with initial positive blood tests for infections that turned out to be wrong.

Sheppard also said other veterans among the roughly 10,000 affected former patients at VA hospitals in Murfreesboro, Tenn., Miami and Augusta, Ga., are likely to seek compensation beyond the VA's offer of free medical care.

Opinion: Veterans and Obama
Benefits

by Michael Leon, Staff Writer

One anniversary perhaps more pressing to note is tomorrow's six-month mark of President Obama's administration

Veterans, the activist kind of veterans who fight the war at home for veterans obtaining minimal benefits and medical service, present an anthology of President Obama's meeting the wide array of deep problems.

Veterans are an anthology in that the pressing concerns and life-or-death consequences in the success of reversing how the U.S. Dept of Veterans of Affairs (DVA) conducts its business is about equal to the performance of the Obama administration as a whole.

We are not yet six months into the new administration and most of us reading this column want change now, a reasonable expectation of Obama who campaigned precisely on this promise.

News: Program moves vets from Medicaid
Benefits


By Pauline Vu

Rolla Riley fought Japanese troops on Iwo Jima during World War II in the same famous battle that saw fellow Marines plant an American flag atop Mount Suribachi.

For many years, the 88-year-old veteran’s only income — Social Security and veteran’s disability benefits — went to pay for nursing home care in Yakima, Wash. The state of Washington’s Medicaid program also picked up the bulk of the tab. 

But now, thanks to a state program that determines if veterans who receive long-term care and other Medicaid benefits actually qualify for certain veteran’s benefits, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pays for Riley’s care. His wife gets more of his money, and the state more of its own.

News: Vets get benefits they didn't know they had
Benefits
By Kyung M. Song

Every month for most of the past decade, Benjamin "Frank" Jordan has forked over as much as $2,000 of his Social Security and veterans benefits to help Medicaid offset the cost of his nursing-home care.

What Jordan didn't know was that he shouldn't have paid a cent.

Jordan, a Navy veteran with a service-connected disability, should have gotten his nursing-home care free from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Now Jordan, 71, who uses a wheelchair, has his room at a Mercer Island nursing home completely paid for from nearly $40,000 a year in newfound veterans benefits, thanks to a state program that matches poor veterans with thousands of dollars in federal benefits they've missed.

News: Augustana offers tuition to veterans
Benefits

Sheena Dooley

Augustana College will begin offering U.S. military veterans a free education this fall.

The school is partnering with the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program to cover the full tuition for any veteran who has served in the military for at least three years since Sept. 10, 2001. They can receive as much as $9,000 a year from Augustana, with a matching contribution from Yellow Ribbon.

Most veterans can receive additional money for room and board, books and other expenses through the GI Bill. Some may also qualify for federal loans with fixed interest rates.

The Yellow Ribbon program is part of the post-9/11 GI Bill approved by Congress in 2008. Originally, the bill provided full tuition for veterans who attended public universities but was eventually expanded to include private schools as well.

For more information on admissions and financial aid, interested veterans can go to www.augustana.edu/admissions.

All students must meet admission requirements, submit an application and complete the financial aid process to qualify.
