“Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, pressing the Department of Veterans Affairs for accurate information on appointment wait times for veterans in the state. Grassley says agency officials appear to mislead his staff about lengthy waits, telling them no wait times beyond 90 days existed, when a whistleblower produced data showing that as of March 2017, hundreds of Iowa veterans were experiencing waits between one and two years for an appointment,” reported KWQC TV-6 News.

“How can veterans, Congress and the public have confidence that the VA is turning itself around when it apparently misrepresents basic facts?” Senator Grassley said. “The VA has to come clean about wait times in Iowa and the rest of the country.”
