A Connecticut veteran who was suffering from schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions related to a fatal air carrier collision has won a major victory. But it comes with a huge cost.
Class Action Settlement
The Department of Veterans Affairs has systematically discriminated against Black veterans by refusing disability compensation claims at a higher rate than white veterans, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday. Conley Monk, a 74-year-old Marine Corps veteran who served during the Vietnam War, is the plaintiff in the lawsuit. According to the records obtained by Monk as well as the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic and Monk claims that the VA denied his disability claim at a greater rate than white veterans during the past three decades.
Monk, who is an ex-psychiatric nurse and retired, says that the discrimination by the VA has caused him and other black veterans to be affected in ways that have impacted their health, home work, education and employment. He is requesting that the VA pay him back the benefits that it has denied him and to amend their policies on race and discharge status as well as denial rates.
Monk and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic received 20 years of VA disability claim information last year via a Freedom of Information Act request, which they submitted on behalf of National Veterans Council for Legal Redress and the Black Veterans Project. The results showed that Black veterans were statistically less likely to receive an appeal for disability than white veterans between 2001 and 2020. Additionally, the average denial rate was 6.3 percent higher for veterans of color than for white veterans.
Discrimination due to PTSD
The Veterans Affairs Department systematically denies disability benefits to Black veterans, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday. The lawsuit is brought by an ex- Marine Corps vet who was denied housing, education and other benefits despite having a diagnosis of PTSD. The suit cites evidence that VA officials have historically disproportionately denied claims made by Black veterans.
Conley Monk served in the Marines as a volunteer during Vietnam War. He drove a bullet-ridden transport vehicle, and helped move equipment and troops into combat zones. He ended up in two fights with fellow Marines who he blamed for his PTSD and was given an unworthy military discharge in 1971. The "bad paper" prevented him from getting mortgages, tuition assistance and other benefits.
He filed a lawsuit against the military in order to reverse his discharge. He was awarded full benefits both in 2015 and in 2020. But, he claims that the VA still has to pay him for his past denials of disability compensation. The suit claims that he suffered emotional trauma by reliving the most painful memories with each application for benefits.
The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and asks the court to require the VA to review its systemic PTSD discrimination. This is the latest initiative by groups like the ACLU and Service Women's Action Network to force the VA to address the long-running discrimination against sexual assault survivors.
Alimony Discrimination

One of the most popular myths is that veterans can get their VA compensation garnished in order to pay child support or alimony orders in state courts. It's not true. Congress carefully designed Title 38 of the U.S. Code to shield the payment of veterans against claims from creditors and family members in the case of child support and alimony.
Conley Monk decided to serve his country. He spent two years in Vietnam driving bullet-riddled transport vehicles, moving equipment and troops out of conflict zones. Monk was awarded several medals in recognition of his work, but he was later issued a less-than-honorable discharge after he was involved in two fights that were not diagnosed as being caused by PTSD. It was a long and lengthy process to get the VA to accept disability compensation.
He was denied access at an rate that was much higher than white people. According to the lawsuit filed in his behalf by the National Veterans Council for Legal Redress at Yale Law School and the Veterans Legal Services Clinic, this racial bias was systemic and widespread. It claims that the VA was aware of but did not deal with decades-long discrimination against Black Veterans. It seeks to redress Monk and other veterans who are like him.
