The Department of Veterans Affairs has repeatedly discriminated against Black veterans by denying disability compensation claims at a higher rate than white veterans, as per the lawsuit filed on Monday. Conley Monk is a 74-year-old Marine Corps veteran from the Vietnam War who filed the lawsuit. According to records obtained by Monk as well as the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic and Monk, he claims that the VA denied his disability claim at a greater rate than white veterans in the last three decades.
Monk, a former psychiatric nurse, claims that discrimination from VA has led him, and other black veterans, to suffer in a manner that has affected their health, their home lives and employment as well as education. He wants the agency to pay him back for benefits it has deprived him of and to change its policies regarding race as well as discharge status and denial rates.
Monk and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic received 20 years of VA disability claim data in the last year, thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request that they submitted on behalf of National Veterans Council for Legal Redress, and the Black Veterans Project. The results showed that Black veterans were statistically less likely to receive an appeal for disability than white veterans between 2001 to 2020. Additionally the average denial rate was 6.3% higher for veterans of color than for white veterans.

Conley Monk served in the Marines as a volunteer during the Vietnam War. He drove an armored transport vehicle and was a part of the team that moved equipment and troops into combat zones. Monk was eventually involved in two fights with fellow Marines who he blamed for his PTSD and was given an unhonorable military discharge in 1971. This "bad paper" prevented him from getting mortgages, tuition assistance and other benefits.
He filed a lawsuit against the military in order to reverse the discharge and was awarded full benefits both in 2015 and in 2020. However, he claims the VA still is owed money for the denials he received in the past of disability compensation.

Veterans who have served our country in uniform or those who accompany them need truthful answers regarding the disability benefits of veterans and its impact on financial issues in divorce. One of the biggest misconceptions is that state courts are able to take away veterans' VA compensation to pay for child support and alimony. This isn't the case. Congress carefully crafted Title 38 of the U.S. Code to shield veterans' payment from claims brought by creditors and family members with the exception of child support and alimony.
Conley Monk decided to serve his country and spent two years in Vietnam driving bullet-riddled transport vehicles, transferring equipment and troops from combat zones. He was awarded several medals, but he received a discharge that was not a prestigious one because he had two fights caused by undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder. The fight to get the VA to approve his claim for disability compensation was a long, winding path.

This racial discrimination was systemic and pervasive, according the lawsuit filed on behalf of him by the National Veterans Council for Legal Redress and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School.
