AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to write regulations setting criteria for priority processing of veterans' disability compensation claims. Groups eligible for priority would include veterans facing extreme financial hardship, homelessness, or terminal illness, participants in the Fully Developed Claim program, and veterans living in an area where the President has declared a major disaster. For veterans in disaster areas, the regulations would set flexible evidence requirements and a flexible filing deadline. Within 60 days of the law taking effect, the Department would have to post a permanent notice on its website listing who is eligible for priority processing.
