AI Summary
This bill, the Veteran Restitution and Justice Act of 2022, would amend Title 38 of the United States Code to provide for the retroactive payment of benefits for veterans with covered mental health conditions or physical injuries resulting from military sexual trauma. Specifically, if the Department of Veterans Affairs approves a claim for compensation based on military sexual trauma, the effective date of the award would be the date the veteran was discharged from service, and monetary benefits would be payable retroactively from that date. The bill defines "military sexual trauma" and "covered health condition" to include covered mental health conditions and physical injuries resulting from such trauma.
