HR 2137, the Review Every Veterans Claim Act of 2025, requires the VA to review the merits of a veteran's claim rather than deny it solely because a required medical exam was missed. It expands an existing rule to cover all VA benefit claims, not just compensation claims, and directs the VA to weigh other evidence like medical records and service history.
Military veterans applying for disability compensation, pension, or other VA-administered benefits; VA staff and adjudicators who process these claims.
A missed exam could still count as one factor in a decision, but VA would need to examine other available evidence before approving or denying a claim, changing how adjudicators process affected cases.
