New legislation was passed addressing veterans who served in Afghanistan. Historically, veterans who received a less than honorable discharge were unable to access the full scope of Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, even if their behavior was caused by a mental health condition.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The law aims to ensure veterans can transition into civilian life and live comfortably. Previously, veterans who received less than honorable discharges, such as a Marine who suffered traumatic brain injuries, might have been unable to receive necessary medical and mental health treatment.
