SAN DIEGO - A local assemblyman says there are thousands of women who are missing out on military benefits because of the way a question is worded in applications.
Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, who represents the 76th District which includes Camp Pendleton, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside and Vista, says there are 18,000 women in California who are not getting the military benefits they deserve.
"You served in the military. Let's say you need a place to stay because you're getting older. You could be able to go apply for those benefits, but a lot of people don't realize that because they don't consider themselves veterans," said Chavez.
