Patrick Dunne, undersecretary for benefits at the Veterans Affairs Department since October 2008, announced Friday that he will resign early next year.
Dunne, a retired real admiral who is a holdover from the Bush administration, has directed VA’s disability compensation, pension, home loan guaranty, vocational rehabilitation and employment, life insurance, and education programs — including the implementation of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which had a rocky start after its Aug. 1 launch.
“I’ve appreciated the wonderful opportunity VA has given me to serve our nation’s veterans and their families,” Dunne said.
“Pat Dunne has guided the Veterans Benefits Administration through a number of challenges during his tenure as undersecretary. I applaud his service and loyalty to our team and thank him for his unfailing commitment to our nation’s veterans,” VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said.
