CNN: Over 4,000 Living Vets Declared Dead, Benefits Ended

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"The department of Veterans Affairs got it dead wrong and cancels benefits for more than 4,000 living veterans. According to a letter from the VA sent to Congress, the department reportedly failed to verify information from the social security administration, information that turned out to be inaccurate. Benefits were restored once the error was realized. The VA says it's working to implement new policy that is will prevent similar mistakes from happening again, but it's the latest in a string of problems for that troubled agency."
