Emmer calls for clarity on recent VA home-based care changes

Congressman Tom Emmer sent a letter to Veterans Integrated Services Network (VISN) 23 Director Robert McDivitt voicing his concerns over recent changes to the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) program which have significantly impacted access to home-based care and transportation services for Minnesota Veterans. The letter also describes a situation where an aging Minnesota Veteran, who lives alone and previously relied on home-care agency visits for basic assistance around the house, was abruptly denied these services with no explanation.
