Bill Summary
Relative to disability benefits for veterans. Veterans and Federal Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 115 of the General Laws to provide that the effective date of an award of disability compensation to a veteran shall be the day following the date of the veteran's discharge or release, if the application for such compensation is received within 1 year from the date of discharge or release. This change aims to ensure that veterans receive their disability benefits more promptly, starting from the day after they are discharged or released from service, as long as they apply for the compensation within a year of that date.
