Fraud Reduction And Uncovering Deception (FRAUD) in VA Disability Exams Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to take steps to identify fraud in disability benefit questionnaire forms submitted to the VA, no matter who submits the forms. VA claims processors would get a process to flag suspected fraud and report it to investigators, including the VA Inspector General. The VA would also set up recurring audits of these forms and tell the person who submitted a form or claim when fraud is suspected. The VA could not reopen or change a final benefit decision based on an Inspector General investigation unless someone is convicted of a related fraud crime, and the VA would report to Congress each year on how this section is carried out.
