     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fair Care for Vietnam Veterans Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill provides a presumption of service-connection for hypertension and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) for veterans who served in Vietnam between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975. Under a presumption of service-connection, specific conditions diagnosed in certain veterans are presumed to have been caused by the circumstances of their military service. Health care benefits and disability compensation may then be awarded.&lt;/p&gt;
