Itinerant VA contact reps reach veterans nationwide
The Veterans Administration deploys itinerant contact representatives to assist veterans who cannot reach VA regional or sub regional offices. They visit isolated areas including Carsville but also reach veterans in mental institutions and even those in jail to help with claims and post war issues. The program anticipates expanded outreach after the separation center is eliminated. Veterans unable to contact offices should request schedules from regional offices to learn when reps will visit nearby areas.
