About 90% of legacy participants were at risk of being kicked out of the Department of Veterans Affairs' caregiver program before it backtracked on new eligibility requirements, the VA confirmed Friday.
The figure comes after VA Secretary Denis McDonough acknowledged Tuesday that a "much higher number" of veterans were being dismissed from the program than officials initially anticipated, though he did not disclose a specific number.
"Faced with that data, we asked ourselves, I think, the question that leaders of good organizations should ask themselves, which is, 'Is there something that we need to take a closer look at?" McDonough said at a news conference Tuesday where he and Deputy Secretary Donald Remy announced they were halting dismissals from the caregiver program while they reassess the eligibility criteria.
