A federal judge has denied the State Department's motion to dismiss a lawsuit from three foreign service workers whose Havana Syndrome benefit claims were denied. The workers allege their claims under the HAVANA Act were improperly rejected because they couldn't tie symptoms to a specific 'sensory event.'
