Act Now to End the Unfair VA Benefits Policy For Survivors of Military Sexual Trauma (MST)
Current VA policy discriminates against veterans who file benefits claims for mental health injuries due to military rape, sexual assault or sexual harassment. SWAN has helped introduce legislation to change this policy and ensure that all veterans receive the benefits they deserve. We urge you to RAISE YOUR VOICE and demand that the VA treat Military Sexual Trauma survivors with dignity and fairness.
Below, you will find contact information for the three officials who matter the most on this issue: Representative Jeff Miller, Senator Patty Murray and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. We need you to contact them NOW.
SWAN has provided you with a sample letter tailored to each official. These three letters cover the key points for each official to make a difference in the lives of veterans who have filed Military Sexual Trauma claims. You have several options:
