Review Every Veteran’s Claim Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator Jim Banks
In Committee
Summary
Stops the VA from denying a veteran's benefit claim solely because the veteran missed a medical examination. It would amend 38 U.S.C. 5103A(d), rename the subsection to 'Claims for Benefits', require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide or obtain medical examinations or opinions when needed, and add that a veteran's failure to appear for a Secretary‑provided exam may not be the sole basis for denying a claim.
