Creates a simple process for specified people to add observed health information to the official DoD and VA health records of veterans who have died. A person named by the veteran (or, if none, an immediate family member) may submit supplemental health observations; the agencies must let living veterans name a designee and must ensure any entry only supplements — it cannot change or remove existing record content.
