Yale Law Students Get Veteran A Victory

[Berta]

In part:
"The Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School won a pivotal case for veterans’ affairs last week.

Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court of Connecticut Janet Hall ruled last Tuesday that William Cowles, a U.S. Army veteran, had been improperly discharged from the army after being misdiagnosed with adjustment disorder. Hall ruled that Cowles was entitled to much higher medical benefits than those the army provided him. This is the first court to rule that the army has wrongly discharged a service member with adjustment disorder. According to Linda Zang LAW ’15, one of the three Yale law students who are interns at the clinic, similar misdiagnoses may affect thousands of veterans.

“This problem of the army misdiagnosing soldiers and then inappropriately discharging them is a problem that a lot of veterans face, whether they served in more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, or whether they are from older conflicts like Vietnam,” she said. “It’s a widespread problem that affects veterans from different generations.”

there is a few law school that take veteran claims on for free and get IMO'S & IME when need be and

some are very good at it. In Atlanta area I have been told Emory Law School help vets with claims and

they are very good. Always hope

This is grand. As I can attest from personal experience that this is the type of crap that goes on in order to deny treatment and benefits to vets. There is hope yet.
