Veterans Affairs Peer Review Neutrality Act of 2025

Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Hearings held.

2026-04-29

The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to use neutral, independent reviewers when evaluating complaints about VA medical care and decisions, rather than allowing VA staff members to review their own colleagues' work. This change aims to make the appeals process fairer for veterans who believe they received poor treatment or made incorrect benefit decisions. Veterans seeking to challenge VA decisions would benefit from having outside experts examine their cases instead of internal VA personnel.
