    Veterans Win PTSD Settlement

    Veterans Win PTSD Settlement

    Week of January 23, 2012

    A federal judge has approved a settlement that will deliver better benefits to nearly 2,100 veterans who have been medically discharged since 2002 with post-traumatic stress disorder. Under the settlement, 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. The class action lawsuit was Sabo v. United States. Similar legal efforts are currently underway. For more information, visit the National Veterans Legal Services Program website and the ptsdlawsuit.com website.

      Fuck they should legalize it just so they can tax it. Only reason drugs are illegal are because the alcohol and tabacco companies spend $$ to keep ti that way.

        I've talked to quite a few who have said it helps and several who have said it makes their paranoia worse.

              Just the paranoia? If so, it might at least be a worthy, temporary swap for all that comes with PTSD. Who knows. If nothing else it would be a cheap temporary medicine for those who it works well for. As for all the potheads, I couldn't give a shit less about their lot in life.
