You may not get a response from the VA. So please write to Senator Jon Tester. Take the time to give specifics about people, problems, dates and situations. My understanding is that he reacts well to veterans' concerns. But he needs to have information in a coherent and logical manner.



You should also contact Senator Daines and Representative Zinke, although I understand that they are much less responsive. Still, just copy and paste whatever you write to Senator Tester. It's good to bug them all at the same time.



If no one responds or the response just blows you off, send the information again. But this time, let them know that you will be contacting the local newspaper (Billings Gazette?) to let them know about your reps' non-responses. Then follow up with phone calls to their offices, both in DC and their local officers in MT.



Be courteous to all at all times. I know it's a pain but honey works better than vinegar. And the old proverb that the squeaky wheel gets the grease is all too true, so persevere. It's a shame that anyone has to do this to get the rights/treatment they deserve. But occasionally people who are in a position to make a difference really do not know what is happening.
