Transfer of patient care responsibility and management to the defense agency is the result of provisions in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, which seeks to eliminate duplication of effort and improve and standardize treatment and patient experiences.

 

 

The eligible veterans will have a year after the date of their letter from the Defense Department to file a claim for the refund, or three years after filing their tax return that reported the disability severance pay, whichever is later. Survivors of those who paid the taxes are also eligible for the refund, which would be paid to the estate of the veteran.

 

 

 

 

With the change, benefits will remain limited to those who have at least six years of service but no more than 16 years who agree to serve four more years in the military.

Liberal transfer rights were part of the modern GI Bill when it was enacted in 2009, but Congress has been warning for several years that the benefit could be limited. The Senate Armed Services Committee suggested in 2015 that it was possible the benefit could be limited only to those with critical or undermanned skills but left the details of any change to the Defense Department.
 

 

 

 

The VA Inspector General’s findings are based off a sampling of re-examination cases last year that indicated department officials may have requested unneeded medical check-ups in 37 percent of benefits cases.

 

 

 

Staff Sgt. Kevin F. Aetonu, 1st Lt. Tyler Wojtasinski and Specialists Brad Cook and Miles L. Shoemaker were ambushed on Oct. 26, 2017, by 30 Taliban forces, who were using rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and machine gun fire.

 

 

The BRS choice is available to active-duty service members who had fewer than 12 years of total service as of Dec. 31, 2017, and reserve-component members in a paid status with fewer than 4,320 retirement points as of Dec. 31, 2017. No one is automatically enrolled; they must make the move to opt in to BRS before the Dec. 31 deadline.

 

 

 

 

"Imagine you are a medic on the battlefield and you just pick up six of your wounded battle buddies for a casualty evacuation. You are busy trying to save their lives and get them to the next level of care, which is a nearby field hospital that has no idea how many patients you are bringing or their conditions," said Wang. "The goal is to keep the medic focused for performing life-saving tasks for multiple patients and remain unencumbered from documentation and reporting."
