Bill overview
This bill, the Veterans Claim Transparency Act of 2020, aims to increase transparency in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability rating process. It requires the VA to allow veterans’ representatives – such as service organization representatives, designated agents, or attorneys – to review a proposed disability rating before it’s finalized. The representative has 48 hours to review the determination, and the VA cannot finalize the rating until the review period is complete.
