SUPREME COURT DROPS EARTH-SHAKING 7-2 DECISION

SUPREME COURT DROPS

EARTH-SHAKING 7-2 DECISION

In Bufkin v. Collins,

the Supreme Court ruled 7-2

that courts must defer

to the VA’s findings unless there’s

a clear error, weakening the benefit-of-the-doubt

rule that once helped veterans win close cases.

Veterans Joshua Bufkin and Norman

Thornton were denied PTSD

claims despite presenting nearly balanced evidence.

Justices Jackson and Gorsuch dissented,

warning the decision undermines fairness.

Advocates fear this will lead to more

denied claims and are calling

for Congress to reinforce protections.

The ruling marks a major shift,

making it tougher for veterans

to secure the benefits they’ve earned.
