Abstract

This paper explores the practice of structured alleging, a process in which veterans are coached to make false claims of military sexual trauma in order to obtain benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Through interviews with survivors and analysis of documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, it becomes clear that this practice is widespread and damaging to both the individuals involved and the credibility of the VA claims process. The February Senate hearing on military sexual trauma provided a platform for survivors to speak out against this practice and call for meaningful change. This paper highlights the importance of listening to the voices of survivors and taking steps to address the systemic issues that lead to structured alleging. It also offers recommendations for improving the VA claims process and supporting survivors of military sexual trauma. Ultimately, this paper argues that stopping structured alleging is a necessary step towards creating a more just and equitable system for all veterans.
