Abstract
The precursors and outcomes of compensation-seeking in Israeli war psy chiatric casualties were examined. Findings suggest that compensation was sought by veterans who had experienced the most severe traumas and had subsequently developed the most severe symptoms and functional li mitations. Reported range and severity of symptoms and functional limi tations did not diminish with compensation.
