Veterans with spinal cord injuries would get annual health check-ups and better access to special equipment.
This bill would make the Department of Veterans Affairs offer annual preventative health evaluations to veterans with spinal cord injuries or disorders. These check-ups would include detailed assessments for pain, diet, prosthetics, and new assistive technologies. It aims to improve their health and independence by ensuring regular care and access to helpful devices.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) does not explicitly have to offer annual preventative health evaluations specifically for veterans with spinal cord injuries or disorders. Nor does it explicitly detail the scope of assistive technology assessments. If this bill passes, the VA would be directed to offer these annual evaluations. They would include comprehensive assessments for health complications, pain management, dietary needs, prosthetic equipment, and assistive technologies. The bill would also require specific consultations for related guidance and regular reporting to Congress.
