The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously on June 12 that a federal law’s six-year statute of limitations that often applies in military-related claims does not apply to retroactive claims for combat-related special compensation (CRSC).
A statute of limitations blocks claims after a specified time elapses following an injury.
The new ruling means that a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and individuals participating in his class action may still file for benefits beyond the six-year cutoff.

I'd say that they almost always get the law right, the problem is usually that Congress wrote the law wrong.
Remember SCOTUS's job is not to decide right or wrong, fair or unfair; their only job is to decide legal or illegal.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - This is where activist judges at all levels tend to go astray. They rule on what they feel the law ought to be instead of what the laws actually say. This can happen on both ends of the political spectrum, but it does seem to happen more with liberal judges inventing concepts from the penumbra of their feelings.

Good. Veterans who suffer injury(ies) shouldn't have statutes of limitations imposed on their timing times.
