Bill information
Summary
To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide for a presumption of service-connection for male breast cancer occurring in certain veterans for purposes of determining eligibility for disability compensation under the laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Plain-language summary
This bill would amend federal veterans benefits law to create a presumption of service-connection for male breast cancer in certain veterans. Service-connection means the VA assumes a veteran's health condition is related to military service, making them eligible for disability compensation without proving the connection themselves. The bill applies to male veterans who developed breast cancer, a rare condition in men. Currently, the bill has been introduced in Congress and is in the early legislative stage.
