#5: The Stigma of Disability
Too many veterans are silently struggling, believing they’re “not disabled enough” to seek help. In this episode I break down the harmful stigma around VA disability, and explain why your conditions are valid and recognized by the VA. Strength doesn’t mean silence and disability benefits aren't charity, they acknowledge, and honor the cost of your service. If you’ve ever downplayed your symptoms or delayed filing a claim out of pride, shame, or fear of being judged, it’s time to rethink what it means to be a “strong” veteran.
