VA Claims For Military Sexual Trauma (MST): What You Need To Know

Sexual assault happens in the military at about the same rate as in the general public. The government says it is cracking down on sexual assault and harassment in the military, which it calls military sexual trauma (MST). But what help is available for veterans who experienced sexual assault during military service and live with emotional health issues as a result? The VA has to help with mental health services and compensation for specific diagnoses, regardless of whether you reported the sexual trauma when it occurred. ______________________________ Table of contents: 00:00 Intro 01:25 How the VA defines MST 03:42 How MST claims are different 05:00 MST and related conditions 07:16 What evidence do you need? 10:03 Resources for support 11:37 How Woods & Woods can help ______________________________ Helpful Related Videos: How to Prepare for a C&P Exam:    • How to Prepare for a C&P Exam   Is TDIU Right for You?:    • Is VA TDIU Right for You?   Types of Service Connections for VA Benefits    • Types of Service Connections for VA Benefits   PTSD, MST, and other Non-Combat Veterans Disability Claims    • PTSD, MST, and other Non-Combat Veterans D...   ____________________________ RESOURCES for more information about MST VA claims: Help for Veterans Who Experienced Sexual Assault during Military Service https://woodslawyers.com/military-sex...
