Seamless Transition
The Seamless Transition Program aids the transitioning process for servicemembers injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. The program helps wounded veterans transfer from acute care at military treatment facilities to rehabilitative care at Veterans Affairs hospitals, and back if necessary. Patient care is also available for servicemembers on convalescent leave who choose to have follow-up care at their local Veterans Affairs facilities.

Veterans Lose GI Bill After 10 Years
Many veterans are unaware that their GI Bill benefits will expire after 10 years and a little over 50 percent of eligible veterans use their GI Bill at all. You only have ten years to use your GI Bill from your date of discharge. Since the GI Bill currently pays out over $1000 a month, or $37,000 over 36 months, you could be missing out on a huge benefit. To learn more about your G.I Bill benefits, visit the Military.com Education Center. To learn more about GI Bill benefits and military-friendly schools, request free information today.
Veterans Fight Over Lawyers
Some of the largest veterans' services organizations, including Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign Wars, are strongly opposing a bill that would allow paid attorneys, for the first time in over a century, to represent veterans in filing disability claims. Veterans groups are divided. For more information, read the article at Military.com.
