Under current policy, surviving spouses only qualify if a veteran with ALS has lived with the disease for *at least* eight years even though the average life expectancy for a person with ALS is two to five years. That’s unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Fact: Military veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS as those who haven’t served in the military. Although the gov’t has entitled veterans with ALS and their spouses to important benefits, there remains a part of the policy that we must fix. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with @lisamurkowski to fix this glaring problem and ensure surviving spouses and families of veterans with ALS receive the benefits they are owed. Thank you @iamalsorg, @alsassociation, @DAVHQ, @PVA1946 for your support. #CuresForAll — PolitiTweet.org
