THE GHOSTS OF WAR
THE GHOSTS OF WAR: The Medical Doctor’s Guide to Service-Related Veteran’s Disability Letters That Work, released on July 4, is a book with a mission. That mission is to help America’s military veterans get the veterans disability benefits they deserve.
Service in the military is dangerous in many ways, and often results in health problems later in life. Unfortunately, as a result of the long and tedious VA claims process, many deserving veterans don't get the service-related disability benefits to which they are entitled.
"There is nothing more patriotic than service to your country in the Armed Forces,"says Dr. Allen C. Hassan, the author as well as a former U.S. Marine Sergeant, and a full Commander in the U.S. Coast Guard. "There is nothing more unpatriotic than trying to deny benefits to deserving and injured men and women who have risked their lives for this country."
Many veterans do not realize that the key to receiving benefits for service-related injuries or disabilities is to establish a connection between medical problems which began in the service and the veteran’s current medical condition. If a link is clearly demonstrated by the examining physician, and proven to the satisfaction of VA claims evaluators and its long appeals process, the veteran will ultimately win his or her claim for benefits.
Veterans have the right to receive an independent assessment by a medical doctor, which is often vitally important in establishing a valid claim for health problems which began in the service. While all medical doctors want to be helpful to their veteran patients, many physicians simply do not know how to write evaluations that establish a valid claim for benefits with the V.A.
Allen Hassan, MD, JD, DVM, is one of the country’s foremost experts in evaluating military veterans. A fighter for the rights of veterans, Dr. Hassan is now making his considerable expertise and experience available to all veterans and veteran’s advocates who need it.
A medical doctor as well as a lawyer, Dr. Hassan’s letters have won benefits for more than 3,000 military veterans over the years. The Ghosts of War, the first book of its kind, includes evaluations in the form of letters to the VA which have won benefits for American military veterans from every major conflict since World War II, including Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia-Herzegovia, Panama, Iraq, and Afghanistan as well as veterans who were injured in non-combat situations.
Dr. Hassan’s medical and psychiatric evaluations are classics of their kind. On a practical level, The Ghosts of War provides sterling examples of successful, winning medical evaluations that may light the way for veterans seeking benefits they deserve, and the doctors, lawyers, and other professionals seeking to help them win this fight.
