VA Cancels PTSD Review: The Department of Veterans’ Affairs announced today that they will no longer pursue the review of some 72,000 files of veterans currently receiving disability compensation for post-traumatic stress disorder. This is a giant victory for veterans and veteran advocates. The VFW would like to thank all of you who made phone calls, sent faxes, letters and emails demanding that the review be stopped. The recent action by VA would not have taken place without your efforts. Please know that our fight is not over – we must keep the pressure on for adequate VA funding. Over the Veterans Day weekend, please contact your legislators in their district offices to let them know that we expect them to do the right thing for America’s 25 million veterans, our 2.2 million servicemembers, and their families.
