Veterans with brain injuries or PTSD would get a new therapy option; certain pension limits would be extended.
This bill would create a three-year pilot program for veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in two specific regions. The program would be paid for entirely by donations. Additionally, the bill would extend the limits on certain veteran pension payments by about three years, from November 30, 2031, to October 30, 2034.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs does not have a specific pilot program to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy to veterans with traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder. Also, limits on certain veteran pension payments are set to end on November 30, 2031. If this bill becomes law, the VA would start a three-year pilot program for this therapy in two regions, funded by donations. Additionally, the limits on certain pension payments would be extended to October 30, 2034.
