The Veterans reform bill which was unanimously passed by the Senate streamlines the lengthy process that veterans undergo when appealing their claims for disability benefits” with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The legislation was created to help veterans navigate the VA system and challenge rejected bids for benefits. It’s also intended to alleviate the backlog of appeals through new approaches for veterans seeking benefits.
