WASHINGTON -- A federal judge has quietly approved a settlement that will deliver better benefits to nearly 2,100 veterans who've been medically discharged since 2002 with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Under the settlement, one of several similar efforts now under way, affected veterans discharged with PTSD will get lifetime health care and post-exchange privileges. The affected veterans had been discharged with disability ratings that were too low to receive such benefits.

Anthony Koller, for one, is an Army veteran who lives in Little Elm, Texas, about 50 miles north of Fort Worth. He survived 14 months in Iraq before being discharged with PTSD. His initial low disability rating, though, left the married father of three adrift.
