This handbook provides service members and their support network with a reference guide to answer some of the most pressing questions that arise for wounded, ill, and/or injured service members. This August 24 update replaces all previous versions, and includes a wealth of available resources. Use the information provided here to further your knowledge about compensation and benefits that may be available to you and your family (i.e., dependents).

Additionally, when you wish to navigate back to the table of contents, click the ‘BACK to TOC’ button in the upper right-hand corner of each page.

This handbook is a living document, updated annually by DOD in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs, Labor, and Education, as well as the Social Security Administration and the U.S. military services.

To augment what’s in this handbook, we recommend that service members and their support network contact their respective service's Wounded Warrior Program – U.S. Army Recovery Care Program (ARCP), U.S. Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment, U.S. Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW), U.S. Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2), or U.S. Special Operations Command Warrior Care Program – with further questions, especially regarding service-specific information regarding compensation and benefits.
