Title: Va gender affirm care survey?
Post by: Robbyv213 on October 30, 2024, 03:41:42 PM
Did anybody else receive an email from the VA asking them to participate in a survey specifically for their health care and gender affirming care that they receive through the VA?

I recently got one of these surveys just today and the conspiracy theorist that I am especially with the upcoming elections makes me feel like this is just a data collection tool to put people on a registration or database so that when the time comes they have a list of individuals that they can now go after or something. I know it's crazy but I hate giving out personal information, especially this kind of information with how almost everything these days are scams.

No, it is legit.

It goes to the local Patient Advocates Office. I wasn't sure either, so I gave negative reviews on everything. A couple of days later, I got a call from the Patient Advocate. She assured me that they read these surveys and it helps them decide what they need to do, what they are doing well, and what really sucks. Definitely fill them out.
