From Link1:

"More than 30 cases have been filed against the Department of the Army for veterans who met the criteria to receive disability benefits ... but were denied."

A "handful" were denied for whatever reasons - not because a VA policy didn't exist.

From Link2:

"Five years ago, Bill Sonntag visited the Department of Veterans Affairs in Dallas to apply for health care benefits.
He hoped he might get some help in paying for his blood pressure medication. He now has more than $200,000 in medical bills."

How is that the VA's fault? My father, a (non-wounded) WWII vet, got his meds from VA at least 20 years ago. It's means tested and even I qualify (although I don't use them) at 7th level or whatever it's called. Again, this is an individual case, not a policy issue.

Link3 is also an individual case, more relevant to the Army than VA and the story was written by the BBC and WGBH Boston. Gheeze.
