Amends 38 U.S.C. § 3695 by removing the existing subsection (b) and redesignating the text of former subsection (c) as the new subsection (b). The change eliminates the prior subsection (b) limitation and shifts the statutory language and numbering, altering how that provision reads and applies. This is a narrow statutory amendment that changes the structure and removes a previously existing limitation in the veterans benefits statute, which could affect how the department interprets or implements the affected provision.
