Veterans Pensions Protection Act of 2025
This bill modifies how certain payments are counted toward income for veterans' pension eligibility. It excludes reimbursements for medical expenses (up to actual medical costs) and pain/suffering payments (up to Secretary's case-by-case limit) from income calculations. This directly affects veterans and surviving spouses/children who receive such payments, preventing these reimbursements from reducing their pension benefits. The changes take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment.
