Helps veterans who served at Nevada Test Range get disability benefits for certain illnesses.
This bill would make it easier for veterans who served at specific parts of the Nevada Test and Training Range between 1972 and 2005 to get disability benefits for certain health issues. It would create a rule that these veterans were exposed to harmful substances and that specific conditions like lipomas and tumors are connected to their service.
Today, veterans must prove direct exposure to radiation or toxins and a direct connection between their service at the Nevada Test and Training Range and any related illnesses for Department of Veterans Affairs disability claims. After this bill, veterans who served at specific locations within the Nevada Test and Training Range between January 1, 1972, and January 1, 2005, would automatically be presumed to have been exposed to harmful substances, and their lipomas and tumor-related conditions would be presumed connected to their service.
