Requires the VA Secretary to build a single, shared digital system so Veterans Health Administration and Board of Veterans’ Appeals staff can access caregiver program applications and documents. Clarifies how stipend eligibility works if an eligible veteran dies while an appeal is pending and directs VA to update training and written guidance so frontline staff apply rules consistently with higher-level adjudicators.
Sets out design and training considerations the Secretary must use, including lessons from the Veterans Benefits Management System and existing disability compensation training, to improve record access, adjudication consistency, and program continuity for family caregivers and veterans.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
