All,
I have started a petition to get the U.S. Veteran's Administration to cover GRS/SRS. I would appreciate any support I can get with this petition. Below is the link to it.

Done Brooke
You may want to check, I've heard of other veterans having TG Care covered by VA but I don't know about SRS.
Best Wishes and Hugs,
Weird - it's not showing up. but I have a Thank You for signing.

Thank you Brooke. *hugs*
Let me add this link to your post. I believe it will be very valuable. :)
VHA Directive for Transgender Veterans (http://www.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=2863) (Please copy and post it in your post so it will be at the top and I will delete it from mine then)
I'm waiting for my VA letter with my Doctor assignment (Have never used VA before) so I can start my process.

Thank you both.
The VA currently covers all forms of non-surgical treatment for transgender veterans. I was able to get them to change their policy for providing voice feminization therapy a couple of years ago. I was actually the first vet to get it through them. I also have been able to get my local VA hospital to change it's policy on providing orchie's for transgender women veterans. Now, my next step is to get them to provide SRS/GRS
