I found this on the Military.com news letter that I receive. This information was a welcome sight, because my husband went for over a year and half with no benefits and no job. The VA finally recognized his disabilities when I had to have him Baker Acted because of his PTSD.
Vets Groups Sue VA Over Claims Delays
Week of November 17, 2008
Two veterans groups, the Vietnam Veterans of America and the Veterans of Modern Warfare, are suing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) over what they call "unacceptable delays" in veteran's claims. The lawsuit demands that the VA provide an initial decision on every veteran's claim for disability benefits within 90 days and resolve appeals within 180 days, and seeks relief to provide a lifeline of interim benefits if the VA delays last beyond the limit. For more information, visit the Veterans of Modern Warfare website and the Vietnam Veterans of America website.
