That\u2019s an all-time record high and a 26% increase over five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese record numbers demonstrate that we\u2019ve made tremendous progress in recent years, but they are still just the beginning,\u201d Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs Tanya Bradsher, the first woman to serve in her role at VA, said in a release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The achievement for the department, shared amid Women\u2019s History Month, comes as the VA increasingly serves a growing cohort of women veterans through its health care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/veterans\/2024\/02\/27\/mental-health-outreach-efforts-need-more-focus-on-women-vets-report\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/262287.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Mental health outreach efforts need more focus on women vets: report<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Advocates say more research and emphasis is needed on the particular mental health challenges facing women veterans.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women veterans who receive earned disability compensation benefits from VA get an average of $26,809 per year and have an average 68% combined disability rating, according to the release. That compares to an average 61% combined disability rating for men, VA Under Secretary for Benefits Joshua Jacobs told reporters Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average grant rate for women veterans is 89.2%, the release said, meaning that roughly nine out of 10 women veterans who applied for disability benefits with VA received benefits for at least one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want every woman veteran to come to us for the benefits that they have earned and deserve,\u201d Jacobs said, noting that VA is hosting targeted women veteran outreach events across the country throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, this week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/03\/18\/fact-sheet-president-biden-issues-executive-order-and-announces-new-actions-to-advance-womens-health-research-and-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\">the White House announced<\/a> that VA and the Department of Defense are launching a new Women\u2019s Health Research collaborative to explore opportunities to promote the advancement of women\u2019s health research and improve care for veterans and service members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t until just over 100 years ago that women veterans were <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/123577\/celebrating-100-years-of-health-care-for-women\/\" target=\"_blank\">granted access to government health care<\/a>. Today, VA provides a wide range of health care assistance for women vets, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2023\/08\/02\/va-offers-free-breast-cancer-screenings-to-burn-pit-vets-40-under\/\" target=\"_blank\">breast cancer screenings and mammograms<\/a> for those with potential toxic exposures to access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2024\/03\/11\/dod-va-to-allow-ivf-for-unmarried-people-same-sex-couples-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\">reproductive health services <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-expands-maternity-care-coordination-for-veterans\/\">maternity care coordination<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But aside from disability compensation and health care benefits, VA says it is working hard to provide other resources for women veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last fall, VA hosted its <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/126268\/women-veterans-experience-action-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">first national women Veterans Experience Action Center<\/a>, a virtual convening that aided more than 340 women veterans to apply for care and benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone I spoke with was excellent and made me feel very taken care of,\u201d one woman said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while they make up 16.5% of the veteran population, women veterans received 27.5% of Post-9\/11 GI Bill education benefits and 26.4% of Veteran Readiness and Employment benefits in 2023, Jacobs noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separately, the department reached another milestone this month. It <a href=\"https:\/\/news.va.gov\/press-room\/va-processed-its-one-millionth-veteran-benefits-claim-fy2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">announced earlier this week<\/a> it processed its one millionth veteran benefits claim in fiscal year 2024 on March 4 \u2014 the earliest that\u2019s been achieved in VA history and nearly six weeks faster than the previous record from last fiscal year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A record number of women veterans are receiving disability compensation benefits from
