DoD Develops Compensation &
Benefits Handbook
DoD announced today it has developed a comprehensive handbook describing
compensation and other benefits service members and their families would
be entitled to upon separation or retirement as a result of serious injury
or illness.
“The Compensation and Benefits Handbook is the one source of information
that covers everything a seriously ill and injured service
 member
will need during his or her recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration,”
said Ronald A. Winter, principal deputy assistant secretary of the Air
Force for manpower and reserve affairs.
The handbook was compiled in cooperation with the Departments of Veterans
Affairs, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and the Social
Security Administration.
Additionally; there are
references to assistance provided by other governmental and
non-governmental agencies and organizations.
“The handbook describes the disability eligibility process, various
program qualifications, application procedures, and numerous resources
with associated contact information,” said Sharon Gunselman, policy and
resource analyst for the Department of Defense.
Web sites and toll-free numbers are provided, and the electronic version
includes hyperlinks.
The electronic version of
the handbook will be updated frequently and the hard copy of the
compensation and benefits handbook will be updated annually.
