    the letter I got states: (verbatim)
    The Million Veteran Program (MVP) invites you to join the over 775,000 MVP Veteran partners helping to improve health for Veterans and ultimately, everyone. Every Veteran partner helps withMVP's ongoing research to answer questions about disease, genes and health.

    Joining MVP involves providing a blood sample for genetic research, information about your health and lifestyle, and access to your health records.

    I went to the website to see what it was, (still unsure) they wanted me to mail the response card in with my choice to joining (or not), walk in to the Greater Los Angeles Health Care System for the blood sample.
    I havent had the time (grandkids) to go back and check the FAQ's, just thought someone here has/had more info.....

    Thanks for the info! It doesn't sound like anything I'm interested in at this time.

    I spent 27+ years on AD; and I've given enough blood while on AD...and had the DNA registry done as well. If they don't already have all of my info somewhere...it's too late for them now. But thanks for the link.

    I haven't seen that yet. But, I would be very suspicious of it especially if one has a disability rating.
