VA Reviewing Some Approved Stress Claims
August 11, 2005 1:41 PM EDT
"WASHINGTON - The government is going to take a new look at the claims of about a third of the military veterans who now get disability payments for post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Veterans Affairs Department will begin a yearlong review next month of 72,000 cases after an internal study found inconsistencies in the way the claims were decided, including many cases approved though they lacked required medical evidence.

Millions of dollars a year could be involved.
"We need to pay as much attention to improper denials as we do to improper grants," said Illinois Rep. Lane Evans, ranking Democrat on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee.Budahn said the VA could look at that later, "but first we're just going to keep our focus on the problem that's been identified."

Randy Reese, national service director for Disabled American Veterans, complained that the review would divert resources from the VA's backlog of several hundred thousand disability claims yet to be processed"
