2011 DoD Compensation and Benefits Handbook
The 2011 DoD Compensation and Benefits Handbook is a quick reference guide for wounded, ill and injured Service members and their loved ones during rehabilitation to reintegration. This Handbook was designed to answer questions in the order in which they are most likely to arise, including chapters on:
- Recovery resources
- Medical care
- DoD pay and allowances
- Disability Evaluation System
- Compensation and benefits
- Reintegration into civilian life
The Handbook was compiled in cooperation with the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and the Social Security Administration, along with the military services. It also provides references to assistance provided by other governmental and non-governmental agencies and organizations.
Many of the answers to specific questions will depend on the Service member’s personal circumstances. Service members should take advantage of the assistance of their Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2) Advocate, Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment or Air Force Wounded Warrior Program Recovery Care Coordinator (RCC), Navy Safe Harbor Non-Medical Care Manager (NMCM) or Federal Recovery Coordinator (FRC) to help find the answers to questions or contact the appropriate experts.
