Excellent- More about Aging Veterans with Disabilities: A Cross-National Study of Policies and Challenges
The number of older war veterans receiving disability benefits is growing, and this book provides comprehensive knowledge about their health and psychosocial concerns, unmet needs, and policy in three countries. It sheds light on the paradox of older veterans with disabilities in these countries and evaluates the dilemma of whether to provide them with proactive health services or serve them separately.

The number of older war veterans receiving disability benefits is steadily increasing, and it is projected to rise in the coming decade. This comprehensive book offers valuable insights into the health and psychosocial concerns of veterans aging with disabilities, as well as the unmet needs they face. By conducting a cross-national comparative study of policies, legislation, and services provided by the United Kingdom (UK), the United States (US), and Israel, which have experienced significant warfare in the 20th century, the book provides evidence-based knowledge on the challenges and mental-health and psychosocial problems faced by this sub-group as they age with a disability.
It sheds light on the paradoxical situation where most veterans with disabilities in these countries are older, while the current legislation and budget primarily target younger veterans with disabilities. The book reflects the ongoing debate regarding the desired policy approach toward older veterans with disabilities in these countries and whether proactive health services should be provided before retirement to prevent accelerated aging. It also examines the dilemma of whether aging veterans should be served separately as a unique population or receive the same services as the general population.
This book will be of interest to academics and students specializing in disability studies, rehabilitation studies, gerontology, psychology, sociology, social work, social policy, and law, among other fields. It offers valuable insights into the experiences and needs of older war veterans and contributes to the ongoing discussion about policies and services that can enhance their well-being and quality of life.
