Over the past year, many Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Readjustment Counseling Service Centers (Vet Centers) have been forced to ration se rives,create waiting lists and limit individual counseling sessions due to significant increases in demand for services from returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, according to a House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Democratic staff report.

House Veterans Affairs Health Subcommittee Ranking ,Member, Rep. Michael H. Michaud (D-ME) requested Democratic committee staff to prepare the report on whether Vet Centers have experienced an increase in workload and have the capacity to meet any increases in demand for readjustment counseling and mental health services.Staff reviewed VA data and interviewed supervisors at 60 Vet Centers nationwide to assess capacity.


The report found in nine months ,from Oct. 2005 though June 2006, the number of returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who have turned to Vet Centers for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) services and readjustment concerns has doubled from 4,467 to 9,103.


Now this is only part of the report. More to come later about how many older vets are bring claims since 9/11.

1. Oh comeon Monkey Man

These guys are just faking this PTSD stuff. Don't you listen to the patriotic conservatives who have sniffed this charade out? And I must question the timing of your release of this information. This is just a ploy to get more funding for veterans and to embarrass our great leader. Shouldn't we be using this money for scholarships for young republicans?

Thanks for the excellent service you provide my friend!!!!
