Today, we honor Clay and his family with the Clay Hunt SAV Act. Clay’s story was one of bravery and dedication. He relied on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for care and received a 30 percent disability rating for PTSD brought on during his service. He appealed the rating, and encountered a bureaucratic nightmare. Clay had to wait months to see a psychiatrist at a VA medical center. Two weeks later, Clay took his own life. Five weeks after his death, and 18 months after filing an appeal with the VA for his PTSD rating, his appeal was approved. Clay’s story details the urgency our nation’s heroes deserve. The Clay Hunt SAV Act will increase access to mental health care and improve the quality of care troops and veterans receive. Together, we can change this system so no other veteran ever has to endure what thousands of veterans have gone through, including Clay.
