Conley Monk is a 74-year-old Marine Corps veteran from the Vietnam War who filed the lawsuit. He claims that VA has denied his disability claims at a higher rate than those of white veterans over the last three decades, according to the agency's records obtained by Monk and the Yale Law School Veterans Legal Services Clinic.
