Plain-English summary
Agent Orange Veterans' Disabled Children's Benefits Act of 2003 - Provides health care, vocational training and rehabilitation, and a monthly disability allowance through the Department of Veterans Affairs to the natural child of a parent who performed qualifying herbicide-risk service (active military service in an area in which a Vietnam-era herbicide agent was used or service during which the parent was otherwise exposed to such agent) if such child was conceived after such service and suffers from spina bifida. (Currently, such benefits are authorized only for the spina bifida care of a Vietnam veteran's natural child conceived after the veteran first entered the Republic of Vietnam.)
