A Connecticut veteran who suffered from schizophrenia post-traumatic disorders, schizophrenia and other mental ailments related to an air carrier crash that claimed the lives of dozens has won a major victory. However, it comes with a significant price tag.
Class Action Settlement
According to a lawsuit filed on Monday in the United States, the Department of Veterans Affairs discriminates against Black veterans by denying their disability claims at a rate which is much 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 claims that VA has denied his disability claims at a more frequent rate than white veterans in the last three decades, according to agency records obtained by Monk and the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic.
Monk, a former psychiatrist, says that discrimination by VA has caused him, as well as others of black veterans, to suffer in a manner that has affected their health, home life and employment as well as education. He wants the VA to pay him back the benefits it has not provided him, and to modify 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 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. This data showed that Black veterans were statistically less likely to be granted an appeal for disability than white veterans between 2001 to 2020. In addition the average denial rate was 6.3% higher for veterans of color than for white veterans.
Discrimination due to PTSD
The Veterans Affairs Department systematically denies disability benefits to Black veterans, as per a lawsuit filed on Monday. The suit is filed by a former Marine Corps veteran who was denied housing as well as education benefits for years, even having been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The suit points to evidence that VA officials have historically rejected claims filed by Black veterans.
Conley Monk served in the Marines as an active volunteer during the Vietnam War. He drove a vehicle that was prone to bullets, and assisted in moving equipment and troops into combat zones. He was eventually involved in two battles that he blamed on his PTSD. In 1971, he received a discharge that was not honorable. This "bad paper" prevented him from receiving loans for homes, tuition aid and other benefits.
He sued the military to rescind his discharge and was awarded full benefits both in 2015 and in 2020. He claims that the VA has a debt for the past denials of disability benefits. He also suffered significant emotional trauma from reliving some of his most painful memories each time he applied and re-application, the suit says.
The lawsuit seeks financial damages and also asks the court's order for the VA to examine its systemic PTSD discrimination. This is the latest initiative by groups such as the ACLU and Service Women's Action Network to force the VA to address long-running discrimination against victims of sexual assault.
Alimony Discrimination
Those who served in uniform or accompanied them, deserve to know the truth about veterans disability benefits and their impact on divorce financial issues. One of the most common myths is that veterans can have their VA compensation seized in order to pay alimony or child support orders in state courts. This is not the case. Congress carefully designed the law contained in Title 38, U.S. Code, to protect veterans' benefits from claims of creditors and family members with the exception of alimony and child support.
Conley Monk decided to serve his country. He spent two years in Vietnam driving bullet-ridden transport vehicles, moving equipment and troops out of conflict zones. He was awarded numerous medals, but later the discharge he received was less than honorable due to the fact that he had two fights due to an undiagnosed post-traumatic disorder. It was a long, winding road for him to convince the VA to accept disability compensation.
He was denied services at an rate that was much higher than white people. According to the lawsuit filed on his behalf by the National Veterans Council for Legal Redress at Yale Law School and the veterans disability attorney Legal Services Clinic, this racial discrimination was systemic and widespread. It asserts that the VA was aware of but did not address decades-long discrimination against Black veterans. It seeks justice for Monk and other veterans.
