++ News Release (4 pages; MS Word)
From the news release:

Calling its recommendations a “bold blueprint for action” to serve, support and simplify the care for our injured service members, the President’s Commission on Care for America’s Returning Wounded Warriors today approved six recommendations that make sweeping changes in the delivery of health care and services. The recommendations include the first major overhaul of the disability system in more than 50 years; creation of recovery plans with recovery coordinators; a new e-Benefits website; and guaranteeing care for PTSD from the VA for injured service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. The nine-member Commission called upon the White House and Congress to implement its recommendations as quickly as possible to ensure that those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are able to successfully transition back to civilian life or active duty service.
