Veterans Disability Lawsuits - Why You Need a Lawyer Who is Accredited to Handle Veterans Disability Lawsuits

Attorneys who profit from disabled veterans to earn profits often make use of their benefits. You need an attorney who is certified to deal with VA claims.

A Connecticut veteran who suffered schizophrenia as well as post-traumatic disorder and other mental illnesses related to a crash of an aircraft carrier that killed a number of people has been awarded a significant victory. But it comes with a significant price tag.

Class Action Settlement

According to a lawsuit filed Monday the Department of Veterans Affairs discriminates against Black veterans in denying their disability claims in a manner that is significantly higher than white veterans. Conley Monk is 74 years old and a Marine Corps veteran who served in the Vietnam War, is the plaintiff in the lawsuit. He alleges that VA has denied his disability claims at a much higher rate than those of white veterans over the last three decades, as per the agency's records obtained by Monk and the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic.

Monk, who is a retired psychiatric nurse, claims that discrimination by the VA has caused him and other black veterans to suffer in ways that have impacted their health, home, employment and education. Monk wants the VA to reimburse him for benefits that it has denied him, and to alter their policies regarding race and discharge status as well as denial rates.

Monk and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic received 20 years of VA disability claim data last year through Freedom of Information Act request that they made on behalf of National Veterans Council for Legal Redress and the Black Veterans Project. These data showed that Black Veterans were statistically less prone to be granted the right to claim disability benefits than white veterans from 2001 until 2020. The average denial rate for black veterans was 6.3% higher than for white veterans.

Discrimination is based on PTSD

The Veterans Affairs Department systematically denies disability benefits to Black veterans, as per a lawsuit filed on Monday. The suit was filed by an ex- Marine Corps vet who was denied housing and education as well as other benefits despite having a diagnosis of PTSD. The suit cites evidence that suggests that VA officials have historically denied claims submitted by Black Veterans in a disproportionate manner.

Conley Monk served in the Marines as a volunteer during the Vietnam War. He drove a bullet-ridden transport vehicle, as well as assisted in the movement of troops and equipment into combat zones. He was eventually involved in two battles that he blamed on his PTSD. In 1971, he received an unjust discharge that was less than acceptable. This "bad paper" kept him from receiving loans for homes as well as tuition aid and other benefits.

He filed a lawsuit against the military to overturn the discharge, and was awarded a range of benefits in 2015 and 2020. However, he says the VA still owes him money due to his past denials of disability compensation. He also suffered a lot of emotional damage from having to relive some of his most painful memories in each application and re-application to receive benefits, the suit says.

The lawsuit is seeking monetary damages and seeks to have the court require the VA to examine the the systemic PTSD bias. This is the latest initiative by groups such as the ACLU and Service Women's Action Network to demand the VA to end the long-running discrimination against victims of sexual assault.

Alimony Discrimination

People who have served in the military or accompanied them, deserve to know the truth about the benefits for veterans with disabilities and their influence on divorce money issues. One of the biggest misconceptions is that veterans can have their VA compensation garnished to pay child support or alimony orders in state courts. This is not true. Congress carefully crafted the law in Title 38, U.S. Code to protect veterans' compensation from claims of family members and creditors except for alimony or child support.

Conley Monk accepted a call to serve his country. He spent two years in Vietnam driving bullet-riddled transport vehicles, transferring equipment and troops from the combat zones. He received several medals for his service, however he was later awarded a less than honorable discharge after getting into two fights that were caused by undiagnosed PTSD. The fight for the VA to approve his claim for disability compensation was a long and arduous road.

He was denied benefits at a much higher rate than his white peers. According to the lawsuit filed on his behalf by the National Veterans Council for Legal Redress at Yale Law School and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic, this racial discrimination was systemic and widespread. It asserts that the VA was aware of and did not confront decades-old discrimination against Black Veterans. It seeks to redress Monk and other veterans similar to Monk.

Appeal

The VA's Board of Veterans Appeals reviews claims for benefits when a person is not satisfied with a decision that the agency has made. It is essential to appeal a decision as soon as you are able. A veteran disability lawyer can help ensure that your appeal is in compliance with all requirements and is granted a fair hearing.

A licensed lawyer will be able to review the evidence used to prove your claim and then submit additional evidence if necessary. A lawyer who understands the challenges of the VA will be more sympathetic to your circumstance. This could be a great advantage during your appeals procedure.

One of the most frequent reasons why a claim for disability benefits from a veteran is denied is because the agency hasn't properly characterized their condition. A qualified attorney can ensure that your condition is properly classified and rated, allowing you to get the benefits you need. A qualified attorney will also be able work with medical professionals to provide additional proof of your medical condition. A medical expert is one example. They may be able show that your pain is a result of your service-related injury and is disabling. They may be able to assist you in getting the medical records you require to prove your claim.
