Military Sexual Trauma Claims: Winning Your VA Case with Proper Evidence

Join Ed Farmer, VA-accredited attorney and US Army combat veteran, as he explores the challenges of winning VA service connections for personal and military sexual trauma cases, focusing on the type of evidence needed to support these claims. Unpacking the intricacies, Ed explains the significance of behavioral markers, like sudden work performance decline or social withdrawal, as pivotal evidence in establishing these claims. 

He highlights the value of lay statements from witnesses who noticed behavioral changes, while also discussing the unique role of after-the-fact medical opinions in MST cases. This episode provides a comprehensive guide to navigating MST claims within the VA system, aiming to equip veterans with the knowledge to pursue their claims successfully. Additionally, Ed emphasizes the importance of understanding that MST is the in-service event, and it is the resulting disabilities, such as PTSD, that should be claimed.
