I am a 27 year old woman who has just been dismissed from the Massachusetts Air Force Reserve. I was removed from service because I had missed Drills, failed my skills tests, they say I was on drugs (althought these were prescribed) and that I communicated a threat (when I mentioned that the next one of my men who stalked me would be maced). However, these things occurred because I was suffering from PTSD, agoraphobia and paranoid ideation as a result of being stalked, and dealing with sexual traumas on base, both in regard to myself and to other younger women.
I was diagnosed while in, and in therapy as well, so I have more than enough documentation to prove a disability claim. However, I was thrown out so quickly, and was so disabled at the time, that I did not think to bring these things up, I just wanted OUT for my own safety.
I have been told by the VA that I do not count as a veteran, and can receive no benefits. The military will not take responsibilty for what happened to me, or to other females.
I need help, both to file a disability claim, and to assist me with possibly bringing my persecutors to justice. It is extremely unfair that the military threw me away when I was medically unfit...i had even requested time off, and the doctors knew I was not well and in treatment. How can any of this be fair to me?????
PLEASE HELP
