POW Benefits Act Introduced
Congressman Gus Bilirakis (R-Palm Harbor) proudly announces the introduction of H.R. 1197, the Prisoners of War (POW) Benefits Act. H.R. 1197 establishes presumptions for disability compensation for several diseases, including Type II Diabetes and Osteoporosis.
This will allow former POWs to claim these disabilities as service-connected and qualify them for disability compensation. Additionally, this legislation establishes a system by which the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) can determine future presumption conditions for former POWs. Under H.R. 1197, the VA Secretary would have to review the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Former Prisoners of War and all other sound medical and scientific information and analysis available to him when making these determinations. |
