    How would requiring the VA to review claims despite missed medical exams affect the department's ability to verify disability eligibility and prevent fraudulent claims?

  2. 02

    What happens to veterans who miss appointments under current rules, and how might this bill change their path to receiving denied benefits?

  3. 03

    Should the VA be required to accommodate missed examinations without limits, or should there be conditions around how many times a veteran can reschedule?
