Veterans from K2 Air Base would get easier disability pay for certain illnesses.
This bill would make it simpler for veterans who served at Karshi Khanabad Air Base in Uzbekistan to get disability payments. It would automatically link certain diseases, such as cancers and heart problems, to their military service if they were exposed to toxins there. This means they would not need to prove the connection themselves.
Today, veterans who served at Karshi Khanabad Air Base in Uzbekistan must prove their illnesses are directly linked to their service to get disability payments. If this bill becomes law, the government would automatically assume a service connection for many diseases. This would make it much easier for these veterans to get the payments they need.
