More than 1,000 veterans complete survey

Thank you to the more than 1,000 of Idaho’s veterans who have taken the time to share their experiences with veterans’ services through a survey I recently conducted.

As I look carefully at this valuable input and share the results, I am struck by the volume of survey respondents who are seeking assistance with specific U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)-related cases.

This increase in VA-related casework speaks to the need to continue to work to ensure that veterans programs are best meeting the needs of Idaho veterans.

At times, I am contacted by Idahoans who find themselves in need of help with a personal issue that involves contacting a federal agency.

I contact the agency on their behalf to assure that they have been given every consideration available by law.

Nineteen percent of the survey participants have asked for further assistance with personal VA-related issues.
