Requires the Veterans Affairs Secretary to seek an outside research center's assessment of the notice letters VA sends to benefits claimants, then carry out feasible changes to make them clearer and shorter, and also moves a pension payment limit date from November 30, 2031 to December 31, 2031.

• Directs the Secretary to seek, within 30 days of enactment, an agreement with a federally funded research and development center to assess VA's claimant notice letters.
• The assessment must judge whether notices can be changed to reduce paper use and costs, and must recommend ways to make them clearer, better organized, and more concise.
• The Secretary must send the assessment to the Veterans' Affairs committees within 90 days of receiving it, implement the recommendations that comply with laws VA administers, and finish implementation within one year of starting.
• Amends 38 U.S.C. 5503(d)(7) by changing a pension payment limit date from November 30, 2031 to December 31, 2031.
