AI Summary
This bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a study and report on the disability and pension benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to members of the National Guard and members of reserve components of the Armed Forces. The study will examine and compare various factors, such as the percentage of veterans with service-connected disabilities, the number of veterans with each disability rating, and the number of disability compensation and pension claims submitted, approved, and disapproved for veterans who served in the National Guard or reserve components versus those who served in the regular components of the Armed Forces. The bill also directs the GAO to identify common barriers for National Guard and reserve component members in obtaining VA disability benefits.
