Class Action Settlement
According to a lawsuit filed Monday that the Department of Veterans Affairs discriminates against Black veterans when it denies their disability claims at a rate which is much higher than white veterans. Conley Monk is a 74-year-old Marine Corps veteran from the Vietnam War who filed the lawsuit. Monk claims that VA has denied his disability claims at a more frequent rate than white veterans disability attorneys in the last three decades, as per the agency's records obtained by Monk and the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic.
Monk, a former psychiatric nurse, claims that discrimination from VA has led him, and other black vets, to suffer in a manner that has affected their health, home life and employment as well as education. Monk wants the VA to pay him back the benefits that it has denied him and to amend their policies regarding race, discharge status, and denial rates.
Monk and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic received 20 years of VA disability claim data in the past year as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, which they submitted on behalf of National Veterans Council for Legal Redress and the Black Veterans Project. The data showed that Black Veterans were statistically less likely to be granted the right to claim disability benefits than white veterans from 2001 until 2020. The average denial rate for veterans of color was 6.3 percent higher than white veterans.
Discrimination against PTSD
The Veterans Affairs Department systematically denies disability benefits to Black veterans, as per a lawsuit filed Monday. The suit is filed by an ex- Marine Corps vet who was denied housing or education, as well as other benefits despite having been diagnosed with PTSD.

He was later involved in two fights with fellow Marines that he blamed on his PTSD and was issued a discharge from the military that was not honorable in 1971. The "bad paper" prevented him from getting the home loan, tuition assistance and other benefits.
He filed a lawsuit against the military to rescind the discharge and received a full range of benefits in 2015 and 2020. But, he claims that the VA still owes him money due to his previous denials of disability compensation. He also suffered a lot of emotional damage from having to relive some of his most painful memories through each application and re-application, the suit claims.
The lawsuit seeks financial damages and asks the court to orally order the VA to examine the the systemic PTSD bias. The lawsuit is the latest effort by groups like the ACLU and Service Women's Action Network, to force the VA to confront discrimination that has been in place for decades against survivors of sexual assault.
