Creates a task force to improve care and research for veterans with blast injuries.
This bill would create a special task force within the Department of Veterans Affairs to focus on veterans and service members affected by blast injuries. This group would work to improve their health care, benefits, and research into these types of injuries. It would also help make sure care is continuous and diagnostic tools are better.
Currently, there is no specific Blast Overpressure Task Force dedicated to improving health care, benefits, research, and monitoring for veterans and service members affected by blast overpressure or exposure. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would establish this Task Force within 180 days. This group would then work to improve health care, benefits, and research for those affected, and provide recommendations to Congress and VA claims processors.
