Rep. Rouzer Pushes for Answers Following VA Clerical Mistake, Sudden Loss of Benefits for two NC-7 Veterans

Statement

Today, Congressman David Rouzer (NC-7) sent a letter to Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald pressing for answers after the Department of Veterans Affairs mistakenly declared two NC-7 veterans "deceased" resulting in the sudden loss of their benefits.

"The 7th district of North Carolina is fortunate to have 60,000 plus veterans call our state "home.' As a congressional office helping our veterans through casework assistance, I would like to know the protocols the VA has in place to ensure our veterans' benefits are not mistakenly terminated in the future. I look forward to hearing back from the VA to help gain a better understand of why this situation occurred and the steps the Department are taking to prevent a similar mistake from happening again."
