Andy11M sends us a link about<\/a> Roy Lee Ross Jr., a.k.a. Daniel Alfred Sullivan Jr., 64, of Morganton, North Carolina, who was a deserter from the Army in Hawaii in 1978. He was given an OTH discharge (under conditions other than honorable) in lieu of a court martial after he was apprehended. I guess he lived to regret that discharge – he represented himself to the VA as Daniel Alfred Sullivan, a special forces Vietnam veteran who had been wounded and suffered from PTSD.<\/p>\n

Ross was diagnosed in 2007 with service-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and began receiving health benefits from the VA.<\/p>\n

In 2012, based on the PTSD diagnosis and his numerous false claims about war wounds and military honors, Ross filed for and received disability-based compensation at a rate of 60 percent and a retroactive lump sum of $18,349, according to the indictment. He also began receiving a monthly tax-free compensation of $1,026.<\/p>\n

In 2014, he filed for more compensation, claiming he suffered pain from being shot in the neck during combat.<\/p>\n

His disability rating was increased, reflecting an increase in his monthly tax-free compensation to $1,743.<\/p>\n

In 2015, still falsely claiming to be Daniel Sullivan, he filed a third claim for \u201cincreased evaluation,\u201d claiming he was suffering from neck pain due to wounds he received on active duty, according to the indictment. He was awarded $3,490 in back payment, and his monthly disability payment was increased to $2,906.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also scammed about $60,000 of medical care and another $10,000 in travel vouchers, and another 10 grand for vocational rehab.<\/p>\n

It looks like the only reason that he got caught was because he got greedy not because anyone thought he was lying. I’ll bet there’s a doctor out there who will still defend him because he described symptoms of PTSD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
