Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Introduced May 15, 2025 by Mark E. Green · Last progress May 15, 2025
Adds a presumption of service connection for a wide range of diseases for veterans who served at Karshi Khanabad Air Base (K2) in Uzbekistan. The change expands the list of illnesses VA will presume are related to service for those veterans, making it easier for affected veterans to qualify for disability benefits and related VA care without proving direct causation.
