VA Undeliverable mail policy 1982

Im looking for the VA policy on undeliverable mail that was in effect back in 1982. More accurately, policy on essential mail. Also on how to locate veteran if where abouts is deemed unknown  due to returned mail.

Berta, GREAT info. I did find Cross v. Brown and you were close.  The VA wanted info from Allen Park MI VA Hosp r/t veteran's treatment. But the deliverable mail issue was around 2010.  But still some good info there as well.   I had dealing with the facility at the same time.  It was closed shortly after 1982.

I thank you for the info. I can't believe I'm still having to fight this very clear apparent error by the VA.  I'm stunned by the VA's decisions. They had my address. I was in contact with them during 1982-1984 on a regular basis. I would ask the status of my claim and was always told the same thing ; "It take time, they'll let you know."

I remember very well on trying to contact the VA back in 1982.  You had to be like a radio call-in trying to win the daily prize. Start calling the VA at exactly 7:59am to be the first callers, otherwise the rest of the day was busy signals!! Then they would close for lunch, and you had to try again at 1pm.

Again thanks.

U rock!!
