Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes rules for the Board of Veterans' Appeals, which reviews appeals of veterans' benefit decisions. In appeals involving a supplemental claim, the Board could not deny relief, including refusing to review the merits, only because the veteran did not provide new and relevant evidence. When the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims sends a case back to the Board, the Board would consider the evidence it already reviewed plus any evidence the veteran or their representative submits within 90 days. The bill also extends a date in an existing limit on pension payments from November 30, 2031, to January 30, 2035.
