Veterans could appeal benefit claims more easily, and some pension limits would last longer.
This bill would make it easier for veterans to appeal decisions about their benefits. The Board of Veterans' Appeals could not reject some appeals just for lack of new evidence. It would also extend certain limits on veterans' pension payments until January 2035.
Today, the Board of Veterans' Appeals can deny supplemental claims solely because a veteran didn't present new evidence, and rules for new evidence in remanded cases are not clearly defined with a 90-day window. Also, certain limits on veterans' pension payments are set to expire on November 30, 2031. After this bill, the Board would not be able to deny supplemental claims just for lack of new evidence, and new evidence in remanded cases would be accepted within 90 days. The pension payment limits would be extended to January 30, 2035.
