Bill Aims to Protect Veteran Family Benefits in COVID-Related Deaths

The video discusses the issue of veterans' families losing survivor benefits if the veteran's death is not directly linked to a service-related condition. Representative Warren Davidson proposes the Insuring Survivors Benefits During COVID-19 Act to address cases where veterans with service-connected disabilities die from COVID-19. The act requires a second opinion if the death certificate does not clearly state the service-connected disability as the cause. The bill has bipartisan support and is under review by the Committee on Veteran Affairs, with hopes of further progress after the elections.
