---------------
Surveys Scheduled to Begin - November 2006
The Veterans’ Disability Benefits Commission is conducting a special
survey of disabled veterans and a separate survey of survivors during
the months of November 2006 through April 2007. The purpose of these
surveys is to ensure that a nationally representative sample of both
groups are given the opportunity to share their views and experiences
with the Commission and Congress.
The surveys are being carried out by telephone interviews by ORC Macro,
an independent research company that conducts surveys for the government
and the private sector. Participants are contacted first in writing,
followed by a phone call to either conduct the survey or arrange a more
convenient time to talk. In some instances, participants may simply
receive a phone call.
The surveys ask questions about the individual’s health status, life
satisfaction, health care and employment. Participation in the survey is
voluntary and extremely important because everyone selected to take part
will help to give us a clearer picture of the effects of
service-connected disability in the lives of veterans and survivors.
The Commission will use the survey results to develop its report and
recommendations to Congress about benefits for service-disabled veterans
and survivors. This final report will be available after October 2007 on
this website.
If you are contacted and asked to participate: please do! You will be
the voice for many other veterans or survivors like yourself.
If you are NOT contacted, please note that our sample was drawn randomly
to represent all disabled veterans and surviving spouses. We cannot
accept volunteers for the survey because we must assure accurate
representation of all disabled veterans and survivors. Adding volunteers
would bias this representation.
We appreciate your time and value your input. Please email us at
veterans@vetscommission.com
, if you have questions or concerns about these surveys.
