Senate Committee Hears Testimony about VA Benefits
02/19/2008

At a hearing of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee on January 25, the chairman of the Veterans’ Disability Benefits Commission testified that benefits for veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder were inadequate. The purpose of the Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission was to carry out a study of the benefits under the laws of the United States that are provided to compensate and assist veterans and their survivors for disabilities and deaths attributable to military service. It completed its study last year, finding that the government needs to do a better job of coordinating benefits, treatment and vocational training. More information about the Commission is available at http://www.vetscommission.org/.
