There are many vets that experience PTSD from things that had nothing to do with fighting, like MST (Military Sexual Trauma) or sexual harassment, being exposed to injury in a VA hospital, injuries during leave or even basic training.
Many veterans have a hard time filing for VA Disability for PTSD or MST because there will always be a lack of documentation for such events. The thing to remember is that it's not the severity of the event when it comes to PTSD, but the severity of how it impacted your mental health.
Watch as veteran’s disability benefits attorney Zack Evans explains how and why Non-Combat PTSD incidents such as muggings, robberies, and assaults present challenges for veterans and their representatives.
Military sexual trauma cases or MST’s present unique challenges. Victims of these types of events often feel fear or shame that may delay or even prevent reporting altogether. In addition, the military's “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy prevents many victims of same-sex assault from speaking out for fear of being kicked out of the military completely.
The landmark case AZ v. Shinseki and its impact on in-service personal assault or trauma is also covered.
