Veterans Benefits

The Year in Veterans Affairs and Military Medicine is one of the leading reference journals for professionals operating within the defense medical and veterans support systems, from surgeons to procurement personnel to administrators. The publication covers the budgets, programs, and initiatives of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Health Program and the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy Medical Commands. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) operates the largest direct health care delivery system in the country with supporting medical research. VA also administers veterans’ benefits including monthly disability payments, education assistance, life insurance, home loans, and vocational rehabilitation and employment services. It also runs veterans' cemeteries across the country. Both the Department of Defense (DOD) and VA operate large medical care systems serving many of the same individuals.
