18 Senators Press VA for Caregivers

Week of February 14, 2011

Chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), along with 17 Senators from both sides of the aisle, have written to Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Eric Shinseki, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Jack Lew, to urge the Administration to carry out the law and begin providing supportive services to caregivers of wounded veterans. It has been reported that some family members of seriously injured veterans have had to leave their jobs and make tremendous sacrifices without training, counseling, and financial benefits. Senator Murray’s letter is available on the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs website.
