I caught a story this morning that I personally  have been waiting a long time to see come to fruition. Yeah this isnt about gaming but I know many ablegamers here to whom this story will apply. 

Basically, if you have sustained an injury classification of  PTSD while serving in the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, you might be able to get a higher % disability rating than you currently have right now. You can also get an expedited new review of your case if you were discharged for PTSD and not given benefits. You should be getting a letter that will let you opt in to the lawsuit that was brought against the VA which has made all of this possible.

To anyone this applies too - make sure you get a letter and opt in before the July 24th deadline. I want you all to receive all the benefits to which you are owed.  You can go to the link below and read the story for yourself.
