Military Sexual Assault: Support, Justice, and Your Right to Benefits
For too many veterans, the scars of service are not only physical. Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is a heartbreaking and all-too-common experience that continues to affect thousands of veterans — women and men alike. Survivors of MST often endure years of pain, silence, and struggle, only to face an uphill battle when seeking help through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). At Conviction Solutions, a Las Vegas-based law firm, we stand with MST survivors and help them fight for the justice and compensation they deserve.
What Is Military Sexual Trauma?
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) refers to sexual assault or repeated, threatening sexual harassment experienced during military service. This includes:
- Rape or sexual assault
- Coerced sexual contact or touching
- Unwanted sexual advances or comments
- Sexual pressure from superiors
- Any sexually charged situation that causes trauma
MST can happen to anyone — active duty personnel, reservists, National Guard members, and veterans of any branch, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Both women and men experience MST, and many suffer in silence due to fear of retaliation, shame, or lack of support.
PTSD and Other Lasting Impacts of MST
The mental and emotional consequences of MST can be lifelong. Many survivors develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other psychological injuries. These may include:
- Anxiety and depression
- Panic attacks
- Substance abuse
- Difficulty sleeping (often tied to conditions like sleep apnea)
- Isolation and relationship problems
Even though the VA recognizes MST-related PTSD and other conditions, veterans often face repeated denials of benefits — especially if they reported the assault long after leaving the service or never reported it at all (a common situation due to fear of retaliation).

If your VA claim for MST-related PTSD or other conditions has been denied, Conviction Solutions may be able to help. Led by experienced appellate attorney Jamie Resch, the firm specializes in appealing VA denials, including those related to Military Sexual Trauma.
