HR 5890 United States House · 118th Congress

Review Every Veterans Claim Act of 2023

HR 5890, the Review Every Veterans Claim Act of 2023, prevents the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from denying benefit claims solely because a veteran misses a required medical examination. This bill directly affects veterans filing for VA benefits who may have missed an appointment. The key provision amends Title 38, U.S. Code, to add that the VA may not deny a claim "on the sole basis" of a veteran’s failure to appear for a medical exam. The change ensures veterans are not penalized for missing exams if no other reason for denial exists.
