Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs

Description:
H.R. 5890 would require the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) to provide additional legal documentation when considering appeals for veterans’ benefits. (BVA is a component of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that hears appeals on matters affecting VA benefits.) The bill also would prohibit VA from denying some claims for veterans benefits solely on the basis that the veteran failed to report for a required medical examination. Further, BVA would be required to publish information on certain appeals that are scheduled to be considered each upcoming week. Finally, the bill would increase the fees that the department charges borrowers for home loan guarantees in 2032.
