In a November 9, 2007, VA court filing related to our VCS class action lawsuit against VA, attorneys for VA revealed that nearly 264,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans were alread treated in VA hospitals and clinics through the end of October 2007.

Last week, House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Filer issued a statement where he said VA expects to treat 300,000 Iraq and Afghanistan war veteans in 2008.
