Veterans Pensions Protection Act of 2025

This bill changes how the Department of Veterans Affairs counts income when deciding pension benefits for veterans and their surviving spouses and children. It would leave out reimbursements, including insurance settlements, for medical expenses caused by an accident, theft, loss, or casualty loss, up to the cost of the medical care provided. It would also leave out payments for pain and suffering related to such events, including insurance settlements and court-awarded general damages, up to an amount the Secretary sets case by case. The changes would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.
