Turn Your Spouse Into Your Secret Weapon with a Spousal Statement

| Discuss on Reddit

Your spouse sees what VA doctors miss during 10-minute exams. Have them write a detailed statement describing how your conditions affect daily life—missed family events, help with basic tasks, personality changes since service. Use specific examples with dates. Their perspective carries serious weight because they witness your struggles 24/7. Download a blank VA Form 21-10210 or use plain paper with their signature and date. Submit it with your next filing to paint the full picture VA needs to see.
