A computer glitch denied benefits to veterans for decades. The mistake may finally be corrected

Army veteran Roni Freund suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder tied to her military service and asked for support from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Marvin Matthewson needed help with daily living as he struggled with disabilities connected to his military service.

When the VA declined to pay disability benefits, both filed appeals within the time frame allowed by law.

Then, for years, nothing happened.
