Veterans Administration
The following information, including links and contact information, are resources to help you with questions and concerns you may have regarding veterans affairs. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact one of my state offices and a member of my staff will be happy to assist you.
Claims/Appeals
If you have a claim or appeal with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), my office can check on the status of your case. Please note that my office cannot expedite claims and/or appeals and does not have the ability to influence a case's outcome. My office can help to ensure that the VA gives your case the consideration it deserves.
Note** If a veteran is terminally ill and has medical evidence to support his/her illness, or can demonstrate evidence of economic hardship, such as imminent foreclosure or eviction, the New Hampshire VA may be able to expedite their claim. Please contact my office for assistance with requesting expedited processing.

What is Casework?
If you are having trouble solving a problem with a federal agency, Senator Shaheen may be able to help. Due to the separation of powers, we are unable to assist with problems not related to federal agencies, such as judicial or state matters. Read More
Open a Case
After 18 years of serving New Hampshire in the Senate, Senator Shaheen’s office will close at the end of the year. Helping Granite Staters navigate the federal government has been a hallmark of the Senator’s time in the Senate.
We are focused on resolving as many pending cases as possible before the office closes. To ensure constituents receive the continuity of service they deserve, we are unable to accept any new casework. We encourage you to reach out to another member of the NH Congressional Delegation so that they may open a case on your behalf.
It has been an honor to serve the people of New Hampshire.
