Review Every Veterans Claim Act of 2025

United States119th CongressHR-2137House of Representatives
Updated: May 4, 2026

Summary

This bill proposes to amend title 38, United States Code, to limit the authority of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs regarding benefit claims. It specifically prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from denying a veteran's claim for benefits solely on the basis that the veteran failed to appear for a medical examination provided by the Secretary in conjunction with that claim. The legislation ensures that a missed medical appointment cannot be the exclusive reason for claim denial . This measure aims to prevent automatic rejections and encourages a more thorough review of all available evidence for a veteran's benefit application, even if a scheduled examination is missed.
