Book excerpt: You SERVED. You DESERVE. Brian Reese was good at masking his PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. He even told himself he did not "deserve" benefits, which he later discovered was complete bullshit. As an air force officer deployed to Afghanistan, he embodied the motto of "service before self." Unfortunately, like many veterans, his service came at his own expense, and abusing alcohol and drugs to cope with mental health issues nearly ended his life. But by the grace of God and the power of pure vulnerability, Brian began a transformational journey of overcoming social stigmas and persevering through adversity. This journey has become a global movement of Veterans Helping Veterans Worldwide(TM).  In You Deserve It, Brian provides veterans with a step-by-step blueprint to help them obtain virtually unknown federal and state benefits. With years of personal experience and more than ten thousand hours devoted to helping veterans get the benefits they're entitled to, Brian provides readers with the unparalleled insight and expertise that forms the foundation of his SEM Method. Whether you served thirty days or thirty years, this book will educate and inspire you to reap the rewards for your honorable service to our country.

Download or read book Transforming Service to Veterans written by Paul Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can one person and an executive team make a difference in a large government bureaucracy? Can Veterans get the benefits they've earned without it being so difficult, frustrating, and slow? Can laws designed to help Veterans be implemented on-time? The answer to each question is "yes." In Transforming Service to Veterans, Paul Lawrence describes his accomplishments as the leader of the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA). VBA disburses $120 billion in annual benefits to Veterans. Historically, administering benefits has not met Veterans' expectations. Long wait times, ambiguity, and errors created the perception that nothing could be done to improve service to Veterans. This began to change in Spring 2018. Paul Lawrence was unanimously confirmed as Under Secretary for Benefits in April 2018, the only political appointee in VBA, overseeing 25,000 career employees. During Lawrence's nearly three years as Under Secretary, Veterans received more benefits faster and at a lower cost than at any time in VBA history. As a businessman, he implemented proven business practices, streamlined the bureaucracy, and created a public presence rebranding VBA as an organization successfully supporting Veterans. Transforming Service to Veterans presents Lawrence's journey from a business executive to political appointee charged with providing benefits to Veterans and implementing high-profile Veteran-focused legislation. He describes how he and his executive team assessed VBA's performance, identified problems and solutions, and determined an effective path forward. A key part of his work was hands-on management and a relentless focus on performance improvement. The critical challenges he encountered and overcame are described in detail, explaining what worked and why in these areas: Managing and improving performance - identifying and addressing challenges, providing transparency and accountability through quarterly public performance and results presentations, and aligning all activities to have VBA's #BestYearEver for Veterans. Managing people and stakeholders - building the leadership team, flattening the organization, developing talented civilian servants, and working with Veteran Service Organizations Managing during the Pandemic - understanding its effects on workflow and taking appropriate actions to keep serving Veterans, including conducting 110 telephone townhalls reaching more than 5 million Veterans to get them timely information and answer their questions Additional discussions include: Implementing congressional mandates - successfully implementing the Colmery Act (Forever GI Bill), Appeals Modernization, and the Blue Water Navy Act. Fixing the support functions - improving support from VA's Office of Information Technology and getting VBA's Office of Human Resources to provide world-class support Strengthening the organization - establishing the Chief Production Officer, applying proven techniques from the private sector, eliminating overpayments, and upgrading the call center. Innovations such as the development of new programs for Veterans and digital solutions are included. Lawrence concludes by presenting ideas to further improve VBA. Read this book: If you are a public sector manager and want proven insights into improving your organization's performance If you are a leader and want practical insights on developing a team of senior government executives To learn more about Veteran issues, including how benefits programs operate

Download or read book The G I Bill written by Kathleen J. Frydl and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have argued about U.S. state development - in particular its laggard social policy and weak institutional capacity - for generations. Neo-institutionalism has informed and enriched these debates, but, as yet, no scholar has reckoned with a very successful and sweeping social policy designed by the federal government: the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, more popularly known as the GI Bill. Kathleen J. Frydl addresses the GI Bill in the first study based on systematic and comprehensive use of the records of the Veterans Administration. Frydl's research situates the Bill squarely in debates about institutional development, social policy and citizenship, and political legitimacy. It demonstrates the multiple ways in which the GI Bill advanced federal power and social policy, and, at the very same time, limited its extent and its effects.

Download or read book VA Disability Claim Approved written by Rick Blair and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the rules governing VA disability benefits and the VA disability ratings process often seem unfairly stacked against you, the purpose of this book is to educate you on what is needed and how to properly prepare the NEXUS letter of your Veterans benefits claim so you can level the playing field and WIN YOUR VA DISABILITY BENEFITS CLAIM! As you know, in order to be successful with your VA disability benefits claim, you must meet three specific criteria:* You must have a current, chronic disability; AND* the disability must have been caused by, the result of, or aggravated by your military service or a secondary condition that was caused by an existing service connected disability; AND* there must be a NEXUS or link between the first two criteria. This book explains the goals and anatomy of a NEXUS letter, addresses potential concerns that doctors might have in writing the NEXUS letter and demonstrates how to craft a compelling NEXUS letter that the VA can't deny. As an added bonus, this book will also show you how to locate missing records and utilized creative ways to find information in support of an incomplete claim. My name is Rick Blair and I served nearly 27 years in the U.S. Air Force and then another 10 years in my "second career" as a Veterans Service Officer (VSO.) Now for my third and hopefully final "career," I plan on taking it easy and writing books to continue my advocacy for Veterans, because the knowledge I gained during those 10 years as a VSO, I believe, is far too important NOT to continuing sharing with other disabled Veterans.As a VSO, I spent four years advocating for Veterans benefits at the St Petersburg VA Regional Office, another four and a half years working with patients at the James H. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa, and then the last year and a half providing community-based advocacy for our Veterans in and around Sumter County Florida. As a result of this experience, I not only became familiar with VA law and the VA disability claims and appeals processes, I learned the procedural matrixes the decision makers (Raters, Decision Review Officers, and Judges) utilize to adjudicated disability claims. As a result of that experience, I discovered that by approaching the Veterans benefits process from the perspective of what could be granted, instead of focusing on what would be denied, I could help Veterans become VICTORS instead of victims. As I assessed the numerous self-help books out there related to VA disability claims and appeals, I found several that do a pretty good job addressing the claims and appeals process and how to submit a claim, but I could not find very much specific information on how to address and develop the NEXUS or link necessary for a VA disability claim. This will be the first book of what I am calling "The Veterans Benefits Series." Subsequent books in this series will address such topics as how to submit a fully developed claim, how to prepare for your Compensation and Pension Examination, additional benefits you didn't know you were entitled to, VA benefits for surviving spouses and children, and more. So whether you are seeking a reconsideration of a recent disability claim or your disability claim is currently in the appeals process, this information is vital to ensuring you have the knowledge necessary to win the veterans benefits you deserve!
