This 50yearold provision now denies veterans basic rights extended to nearly every American. Thus. persons who are denied food stamps. SSI. Medicaid. AFDC benefits. as well as prisoners and those threatened with deportation. are all entitled to their day in court. Even military personnel can obtain court review of the numerous disputes that arise between soldiers and the military departmentsincluding issues like promotions. peformance evaluations. retirement benefits. disability decisions. and criminal punishments. but the veterans are not. the veterans do not have this privilege. The root reason that Congress has provided Federal court review in all these situations is simply that no agency should be allowed to make decisions unchecked.
