This bill would require the VA to maintain a public website listing every medical condition and veteran group it is currently reviewing for presumptive service connection related to toxic exposure. For each item, the VA must explain its status in the review process and tell the public how to submit comments. The VA would have 180 days from the bill becoming law to launch the page.
This primarily affects veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service. It also affects their families and advocates who want to follow or respond to VA decisions about which illnesses qualify for automatic benefits.
Right now, people outside the VA have no clear way to see which conditions are under review or where those reviews stand. This bill would make that process visible and open to public input.
