I am proud my SPACE-A legislation has been signed into law as part of the NDAA. It allows Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability to use a benefit to travel on military aircraft when there is extra space onboard. It is the 8th of my bills to become law this Congress.

Have you proposed a bill to fix the space-A issue for 100% disabled veterans? Not being able to take a dependent can make the benefit more of a challenge than a benefit. Also are the Conus and US territories restriction going to be fixed as well? Thank you.
We are working with the Administration, as they do not need new legislation, just a correct interpretation of the law we already passed. I will update as we receive news.

Thank you for the reply and standing up and supporting all of us who have disabilities from our military service. Hopefully the Administration can work quickly to have the correct interpretation put in place.

Any possibility that a fix could be added to the current spending bill Congress is working on?
