| 2016-30509 | Special Monthly Compensation for Veterans With Traumatic Brain Injury | Proposed Rule | The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks to amend its adjudication regulations to add an additional benefit for veterans with residuals of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This benefit was enacted by the Veterans' Benefits Act of 2010 and provides special monthly compensation for veterans with TBI who are in need of aid and attendance and, in the absence of such aid and attendance, would require hospitalization, nursing home care, or other residential institutional care. Prior to the law's enactment, veterans with TBI were not eligible for this benefit unless they had a separate service- related disability that qualified under the law. | 2016-12-21 | 2016 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/21/2016-30509/special-monthly-compensation-for-veterans-with-traumatic-brain-injury | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-21/pdf/2016-30509.pdf | Veterans Affairs Department | 520 | The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks to amend its adjudication regulations to add an additional benefit for veterans with residuals of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
