Specialist Fourth Class Keith Smith Glioblastoma Parity Act of 2025
This bill adds glioblastoma multiforme (an aggressive brain cancer) to the list of conditions presumed connected to Agent Orange exposure for veterans. It directly affects veterans who developed this cancer after serving in Vietnam during the Vietnam era (1961-1971). The key mechanism amends VA law to automatically presume service connection for this cancer, eliminating the need for veterans to prove a direct link to exposure. This change would streamline access to disability benefits for affected veterans without altering existing benefit amounts.
