Life & Work
Veterans with spinal cord injuries who cannot manage bowel and bladder functions on their own would gain access to a dedicated VA care program. This lets them stay in their homes and communities rather than being forced into institutional settings, while receiving individualized assessments and protections against arbitrary care denials. The three-year deeming provision also removes the burden of repeated medical reviews for those with permanent conditions.
