Veterans with sexual trauma have to file a claim for disability benefits to get compensation. Unfortunately, these VA disability claims are often denied. In 2017, the VA received more than 12,000 claims for MST-related PTSD. The VA denied almost half of these claims and failed to follow correct procedures in over 1,000 of the denials. The VA may offer many free treatment options and therapy for victims of MST, but failing to follow the correct procedure when reviewing a claim can result in more trauma and anguish for the victim. This is when it’s best to get a sexual abuse attorney to help you review your claim. At Reich & Binstock, our sexual abuse attorneys aren’t afraid to go head-to-head with organizations as big as the VA. Our focus is on helping you heal and fighting for fair compensation for you. We can help you prove your MST claim so you can receive your full benefits.
