Two veterans groups filed a class action lawsuit today against the Department of Veterans Affairs alleging long delays in medical treatment. The military personnel fought in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their lawsuit says the Department of Veterans Affairs is is unable to process disability benefits and other medical claims with a current backlog of more than 600,000 cases. It also charges the VA Department with being unable to deal with a growing number of post-traumatic stress disorder cases.
