A coalition of US military veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is suing the US government.
The class-action lawsuit on behalf of hundreds of thousands of veterans claims they have been denied disability pay and mental health treatment.
The legal case against the US Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) seeks widespread changes in the agency.
It says the DVA has deliberately cheated some traumatised war veterans out of benefits owed to them.
The case was filed on Monday in a federal court in San Francisco.
