Well, we got the letter in the mail yesterday: the one I've been expecting, based on what the VA has said about whose files were lost, and the fact that they would send letters to veterans who might be affected....the one that says my husband's information was on the drive. But, they tell us, apparently thinking it will make us feel better, no health information was on the hard drive, only things like the SSN. I forgot to look at the envelope to see if the VA had to pay postage, or if the PO had to deliver those 16.5 million letters at no cost.
