The Veterans Administration wrongly notified 1200 veterans that they have ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). VA is blaming it all on a computer generated coding error. VetsFirst Joins Lawsuit Against the VA. The outcome of this lawsuit will have an impact on the thousands of veterans and their dependents and survivors who file appeals with the CAVC each year. VetsFirst urges Congress to pass the Compensation Owed for Mental Health Based on Activities in Theater Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2009 (the COMBAT PTSD Act, H.R. 952). VetsFirst takes action on serious shortcomings regarding inadequate coverage currently available under the VA’s Veterans Mortgage Life Insurance (VMLI) program. VetsFirst 2009 Public Policy Priorities. Veterans with disabilities are still faced with a large number of challenges in obtaining appropriate and timely health care and benefits. Our 2009 agenda is an aggressive one that aims to resolve many of these challenges. VetsFirst supports nomination of Duckworth as VA’s assistant secretary for public and intergovernmental affairs. Will VA’s doors be open to all vets? Is it advisable for President-elect Obama to open the VA’s doors to all veterans and place further strain on the system… Disabled veterans deserve a fair shake in the workplace.
