A Connecticut veteran who was suffering from schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health conditions related to a deadly aircraft carrier crash has clinched an important victory. However, it comes with a hefty cost.
Class Action Settlement
The Department of Veterans Affairs has consistently discriminated against Black veterans by refusing disability compensation claims at a higher rate than white veterans, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday. Conley Monk is 74 years old and a Marine Corps veteran who served in the Vietnam War, is the plaintiff in the lawsuit. According to documents obtained by Monk, 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 over the past three decades.
Monk, a retired psychiatric nursing, claims that discrimination by VA has led him, and others of black veterans, to suffer in a manner that has affected their health, their home lives work, education, and employment. Monk wants the VA to reimburse him for benefits they have denied him, and to modify their policies regarding race, discharge status, and denial rates.
Monk and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic received 20 years of VA disability claim data last year through 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 receive an application for disability than white veterans between 2001 to 2020. In addition, the average denial rate was 6.3 percent higher for veterans of color than for white veterans.
Discrimination due to PTSD
According to a lawsuit filed on Monday that the Veterans Affairs Department denies disability benefits to Black veterans. The suit was filed by a former Marine Corps veteran who was denied access to housing, education, and other benefits for decades, despite though he suffered from undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The suit cites evidence that VA officials have historically rejected claims filed by Black veterans.
Conley Monk was a member of 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. He was later involved in two battles that he blamed on his PTSD. In 1971, he was awarded an unjust discharge that was less than honourable. That "bad paper" hindered him from receiving mortgages, tuition assistance and other benefits.
He filed a lawsuit against the military to rescind the discharge and was awarded a range of benefits in 2015 and 2020. However, he says the VA still is owed money for his previous denials of disability compensation. The suit claims that he also suffered emotional trauma by reliving the most painful memories with each and every application for benefits.
The lawsuit seeks financial damages and asks the court to require the VA to review its systemic PTSD discrimination. The lawsuit is the latest effort by groups like the ACLU and Service Women's Action Network, to force the VA to address the long-standing discrimination against survivors of sexual assault.
Alimony Discrimination
Those who have served our country in uniform or who accompany them require honest answers about veterans disability compensation and its impact on money issues in divorce. One of the biggest misconceptions is that state courts can take away veterans' VA compensation to pay for alimony and child support. This is not true. Congress has carefully designed Title 38 of the U.S. Code to protect the payment of veterans from claims by family members and creditors with the exception of alimony and child support.
Conley Monk volunteered to serve his country. He spent two years in Vietnam driving bullet-ridden transport vehicles, moving equipment and troops from combat zones. He was awarded several medals, but then his discharge was not honorable as he had two fights because of a post-traumatic stress disorder. The battle to get the VA to grant his claim for disability compensation was a long and arduous path.
He was denied benefits at a more frequent rate than his white peers. This discrimination against Blacks was systematic and widespread, according to the lawsuit filed on his behalf by the National Veterans Council for Legal Redress and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School. It claims that the VA knew about and did not take action to take action to end decades of discrimination against Black veterans. It seeks justice for Monk and other veterans who are like him.
