result in cases. However, complaints that do not result in formal cases may be used in planning future OIG
inspections and audits, or, if not confidential, referred to VA officials for their information.
It has been 6 Weeks Since I Submitted My Complaint and I Have Not Heard Back from
the OIG. Why Wasn’t My Complaint Accepted? What Can I Do Now?
If we have not contacted you in 6 weeks, your complaint was not accepted for review because it does not
meet one of the four criteria for acceptance or because another Government agency is better positioned
to resolve the issue. Contact information for VA and other Government agencies that can help you is
located on our website at VA OIG Hotline FAQ.
The OIG does not investigate complaints that are unrelated to VA programs and operations or issues, such
as those listed below, that are addressed in other legal or administrative forums:
Allegations of whistleblower retaliation (This is because the OIG cannot provide direct relief to
complainants in contrast to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel which can. Further information is
available at https://osc.gov/Services or 1-800-872-9855.)
Claims for VA disability and pension benefits, and ratings, appeals, or home loan issues
Claims for VA education benefits
Tort claims or other legal issue/case/claims
Litigation matters
Employee grievances, unfair labor practices, union matters
Whistleblower disclosures not related to the VA
Discrimination and EEO complaints for VA employees, former VA employees, and applicants for VA
positions
Discrimination and complaints related to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act (USERRA)
Personnel actions/adverse action appeals/MSPB matters
