Tens of thousands of veterans across California will spend this Veterans Day as they did last year -- waiting to see if the Department of Veterans Affairs will grant their disability claims. Our media partner, the Center for Investigative Reporting, found that many of those veterans may be unfairly denied their benefits because of the high rate of errors made by the V.A. We profile one veteran's case, and the plight of the V.A. employee who tried to help him.
