News For Veterans
Far too many of the 200 million pieces of mail that flow through the Veterans Administration each year cannot be properly identified, the VA said.
Too many veterans and their dependents merely sign their names to correspondence, and names are not enough.
Almost all of the 30 million names in VA’s master index file are duplicated. As might be expected, there are more than 300,000 Smiths and almost 200,000 Johnsons but most other names are duplicated scores of times.
The \eteran’s claim number or “C-number” and his insurance number are his alone, the VA pointed out. Inclusion of these numbers in correspondence will insure prompt and efficient service, and save time and cost of additional correspondence.
