Military Sexual Trauma VA Claims

FWD Assist Publishing

Filing a VA claim based on military sexual trauma is different. The evidentiary rules are different, the documentation process is different, and the stakes are deeply personal. Military Sexual Trauma VA Claims walks survivors through every aspect of the process: what the VA accepts as evidence when records don't exist, how to work with MST coordinators, how to document secondary conditions like PTSD and depression, and how to file a claim that protects your privacy while building the strongest possible case.

What This Costs You Without It

Veterans lose thousands every year to the claims industry or to mistakes that could have been avoided with the right information.

Who wrote this and why should I trust it?

FWD Assist books are written by J. Erickson, a veteran who built FWD Assist HQ to give other veterans plain-language guides for understanding the VA disability system. Every claim strategy, regulatory citation, and procedural step comes from real-world experience helping real veterans with real claims.

Does this cover my specific situation?

Military Sexual Trauma VA Claims covers the diagnostic criteria, rating schedules, evidence requirements, and common secondary conditions specific to this area. It includes the 38 CFR rating criteria the VA uses so you know exactly what they are looking for.

Can I file for a condition that was not diagnosed during service?

Yes, in many cases. The VA evaluates service connection based on evidence linking your current condition to your military service. You do not need a diagnosis from active duty. This book explains what evidence establishes that link and how to get it.

What if I already have a rating but think it should be higher?

You can file for an increase. This book covers the rating criteria at every level so you can document your symptoms accurately and pursue the rating that matches your actual condition.
