An Act relative to veteran disability benefits

This bill increases annual disability payments for certain veterans from $2,000 to $5,000. It directly affects veterans certified by the VA as having service-connected PTSD, Persian Gulf illness, or Camp Lejeune water-related injuries at 80% disability. The law requires the state to pay $5,000 yearly in two installments (August 1 and February 1) starting from the application date. This change amends existing law to raise the payment amount for these specific veteran groups.
