The bill would
  * Modify home loan programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
  * Increase disability compensation and expand health care for more veterans who served in the seas near
     Vietnam during the Vietnam War
  * Provide disability compensation to certain veterans who served near the Korea Demilitarized Zone
  * Provide payments, vocational training, rehabilitation services, and health care to the biological children of
     certain veterans who served in Thailand during the Vietnam War if those children have been diagnosed with
     Spina Bifida

Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from
  * Changes to VA's home loan programs
  * Increased disability compensation and health care benefits for certain veterans

Areas of significant uncertainty include
  * The number of veterans affected by the bill and the change in their disability ratings
