Sponsored By: Representative Larsen, Rick [D-WA-2]

Introduced

Summary

Adds male breast cancer to the VA's presumption of service-connection for disability compensation. The bill would insert 'including male breast cancer' into 38 U.S.C. 1120(b)(2)(E), placing male breast cancer on the statutory list of conditions presumed to be service-connected. Male veterans diagnosed with breast cancer would be evaluated under that existing presumption when applying for Department of Veterans Affairs disability benefits.
