Summary
The bill changes federal law so that veterans who were sexually assaulted while serving can receive disability compensation dating back to the day after they left the military. It covers both mental‑health conditions and physical injuries linked to that trauma. By making payments retroactive, the measure seeks to close a long‑standing gap in benefits for these survivors.
