Veterans for Common Sense (VCS), et al. v. Shinseki, et al.

In January 2013, the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. Despite this disappointment, the landmark case raised national awareness of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ serious deficiencies and delays in providing veterans with the mental health care treatment and benefit determination claims they deserve and need. The case furthered awareness of veterans’ mental health care needs by revealing the shocking reality of suicide rates among veterans: 18 per day. DRA continues to pursue systemic problems that affect veterans with disabilities.
