The Department of Veterans Affairs may soon stop paying benefits for war veterans who need service dogs to help them battle post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. '
That is according to New York Senator Charles Schumer. He opposes the move, saying now is the wrong time to impose a change as more veterans return home from combat. The department has said it wants to complete a study of service dogs and their effects on veterans. The department expects to finish that study in 2014.
