It's probably because I live overseas, but the verification process is not made for people like me.

Good experience with live agent.
April 20, 2023

Good experience with live agent. Bad experience making a good connection. Unable to use the links sent to me. The agent had me log into Zoom. After the third attempt a good connection was stablished.

Doesn't work well with the VA site. Very frustrating when the healthcare site worked fine without ID me.

Verifying agent was wonderful

I took pictures of my ID and had my face scanned multiple times and nothing worked. Save time and frustration by just doing the video call.
