Preparation for meeting with Veterans Representative for the House

I feel like I have to do my due diligence in preparing for me meeting at 1 pm with Anthony Barnes the Veterans Outreach officer and Constituent Services Specialist from The Us House of Representatives out of Barbara Comstocks Loudoun County Office.  Although I am being positive and grateful to have made it through this much of the bureaucracy after the past 3 years to work with the VA various issues.  I am not naive enough to not remember the many other veteran outreach specialist that I have meet with the same enthusiasm that wore of very quickly and the initial sense of finally finding someone who can truly help make a difference that very quickly proved to be a false feeling.  I'm still positive to be able to reach a successful outcome and certainly hope this finally the path to that occurring.

 Priorities are as follows

Health and Well being

1.  5+months to secure stable housing.
2. I can not get medications refilled or see my nurse practitioner until further appointments are authorized.
3. I need to establish a facility where I can get one on one physiological support in addition to psychiatric treatment.
4. Voc-rehab benefits need to be re-established.
5. Continuity of a care as it relates to social work services.  

                                                         Legislation Issues 

1. How to request modification to current activities that are on the floor of the House and the Senate.
2.  Work to define a process to follow bills that became law are provided funding to ensure that the services are provided to the veterans as intended.
3.  Identify all the committees and sub-committee that are established in the support of veterans and review their mission statement to ensure that there are not duplicated or conflicting missions that are negatively impacting the Veterans Affairs Organization.
4.  Identify the process for documenting, set milestones and communicating the status of all accepted task by any of the case management services.

Vital information for current issues

1. How do I transfer knowledge to my representatives on specific issues that are currently being addressed in our government.

• Russia's impact on the election 

• Question of whether classified data has been compromised 

• Comey's dinner with the president.

• The state of our nations Intelligence community's

1.  Filing a report to the inspector general for the following 

• VA administration as well as our State and House elected officials directing veterans to services that they knowledge are at best poorly provided.

• Tim Kaines senate office out of Richmond. case management services are inappropriately contracted out to an organization that should not be a third party. 

I think this captures the majority of the concerns from my perspective.  Hopefully the meeting goes well and there's more positive than negative to speak to.
