About this book

Women are one of the fastest-growing groups of veterans, yet the claims process was built around a male default: male examiners, male symptom patterns, male service profiles. This guide covers the conditions, exam rights, and evidence problems women veterans face, so you can see where a claim may be missing something and what to do about it.
