Expand VA benefits for veterans exposed to radiation or toxins at NTTR
Susie Lee supports the bipartisan PROTECT Act, which would expand VA benefits to veterans assigned to impacted areas of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). The bill is intended to provide eligible veterans with medical treatment and financial compensation for toxic radiation or materials exposure. Lee is also pressing the Department of Defense to provide the VA with service records needed to establish that veterans served at NTTR.
