You are correct. We do not track the cause of the injury. We track what the injury is. For us, it's not what caused it. I want to be very careful. We've been working very closely with “It's Just 700” and we take this extremely seriously. We're talking to them so our adjudicators have a better understanding of sexual trauma. Our doctors are very well aware, and we're working with them to put something on our website.
But the reality is that when it comes to the adjudication process, for us it's “Is it service-related?” We have to ensure the service relationship, but we have to acknowledge that sexual trauma of all sorts happens on the base, happens on exercises. To us that's a service relationship, but for us what's more important is what the injury is and to treat the injury. Often they come to us as mental health injuries. There are two or three different types that we see more often. Like I say, our adjudicators are working with “It's Just 700” to better understand this, but that's what we track, not the cause.
I know you may say it's not quite the same thing, but if you fall off a truck and you hurt your back, or you parachute jump and you hurt your back, for us the issue is that you have a bad back. When it comes to sexual trauma, there has been an event, and we don't care if the person has been charged or not. If it's been documented and the doctor is telling us you have a diagnosis for this, you will receive the treatment and you will receive the disability award or disability pension to which you are entitled. We don't track many of the causes. We track what the injury is, and then what we are doing to help the veteran.
