VA to reconsider PTSD claims review announced by VA
The Veterans Affairs Department will reexamine about 72,000 PTSD disability cases approved 1999 to 2004 after an internal study found inconsistencies and missing medical evidence. The review targets full PTSD disability recipients and may affect about 10 percent of the 80 percent rise in PTSD payments, with funds potentially reaching billions.

Rep Curt Weldon says Able Danger intelligence identified Atta and other hijackers in 1999 and was suppressed from FBI handover in 2000. The Discourse Project and lawmakers review the handling.
