U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chairman Jon Tester (D-MT) introduced bipartisan legislation to reinstate a critical rule allowing veterans and their representatives 48 hours to review and dispute disability claims verdicts before they are finalized.
In April 2020, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) eliminated the critical 48-hour review period a decades-old practice allowing veterans and their representatives time to review benefits determinations prior to VA’s final decision. Reinstating this necessary tool will result in greater efficiency, mitigate potential errors and reduce the need for appeals. The
Veterans Claim Transparency Act would resume the review period to ensure accredited Veteran Service Organizations, attorneys and claims agents have the ability to review and course correct benefits determination, prior to VA’s final decision.
