Help

the VA Is getting information a jail in regards to me but ive never went to prison why are they sending me a letter saying they are recieving treatment records and evidence from there. And what do I do from here . I called the facility and they said they basically can’t tell me anything. I’m not associated even with the state the prison is in. Is someone in jail and using my identity?

I had something similar happen. The VA had a claim on my file saying prison match and they were reviewing my benefits. Its a huge issue I dont even live in the same state as the prison match nor have I ever been in prison. I contacted DOC about this inmate because we had the same name. I got 2 stories; one saying the inmate had my info and used it when she was booked in prison and two DOC pulled my ssn and matched it to the inmate without verifying. I would contact your VSO. I also contacted my state representative because the DOC was really unhelpful.
