I had most of my injury surgies at Andrews AirForce base hospital. The VA is saying that means I get no benefits for my injuries. I find that hard, and they won't go to Andrews to get information saying I had the surgeries.

Most of the claims that are submitted directly by the claimant fail to get recognized as there is insufficient medical information and other information on which to base an acceptance of a claim... You don't need an attorney as there are certified resources in the DAV in your area to assist you with filing a claim...they can help and advise you what VA forms you need to provide and if you provide the information on requested on the form, the correct documentation will be forwarded directly to the correct VA claim center and the Service Officer will follow it through...More information may be needed, but they will assist you...but you have to maintain contact with your designated Service Officer working with you... Message me if you want to contact a DAV Service Officer near you.

if you went to the VA for medical issues why do I have to go out find them. They are in my medical record and they have access to those records. All of my diagnosis are in the medical report I see on Evet account. It also shows all the medication I take for these conditions.

SGT Kerry Sommers - The medical side of the VA is (sort of) separate from the Claim side. I am not sure why that is, Kerry, but that is fact. That's why there is a comp and pen exam as part of the claims process. It is up to the Veteran to manage and control their claim information on prescribed VA Forms.

You have to provide medical documentation I was always told. Can you request a copy of your medical records? I turned in a copy and have my original copy and x-rays as well.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - When we leave the military, we leave with a mild case that will develop into more problems. I am 73 years old and I have a Mild case of Demetia caused by the service. This comes from boot camp, lifers and career officers yelling screaming and telling you to do some ungodly things. In Vietnam, men had to burn the human crap that lead to diseases, we were put in places where I monkey wouldn't go, but we went in those spaces. There are over 300 mental conditions you can claim. there are over 900 total from head to toe you maybe entitled to. I received my compensation last year. This isn't impossible, look at me, I received my compensation after 50 years. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose. If you use the Attorney, the VA will deduct 20% form your reward. You don't pay a dime.

This should be one of the first steps for any claim to VA. (DISCLOSURE: I work for VBA). The VA has hundreds of us looking for veterans records. First in the VA's holdings, then with the National Archive, and finally with the DoD. This for all records. There is also an additional process to request records from the individual treatment facilities (existing and closed). It takes time and is frustrating, but in the end the BA either gts whatever records exist or a certification from all outside agencies the there are no further existing records.
Yes it takes time, but for agencies outside of VA we have no control. It may take more than one request as records are being found as the archives are just now in the process of converting all military record holdings to digital format and passing then to VA control.

SSG Michael Noll, if you are enrolled in the VA's "MyhealthEvet", most of the VA Medical treatment is included, but not your claim information. If a Vet uses the
E benefits portal of the VA system, all your records can be stored there, for whenever you need those records.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - I too deserve allot! I keep always saying, both Jesus and Judas were paid far better than I ever was for all my problems! On the flip, backing-up my little choo choo train, think I'd rather leave those decisions for either God or a Judge, with the later legal profession not having much faith in aside from Judges themselves. Good luck if you choose the civilian legal route. Of course, I'm assuming most claims do not require civilian legal help, with civilian legal cases being mostly made-up of the more difficult cases. I suggest networking/talking with others first before jumping for a civilian lawyer, unless there were something criminal occurring. Much to be thankful for.

AB Roger Zauner I left it up to the Lord... his answer was the route I took. This Law Firm was a personal recommendation from a Veteran in my PTSD support group. There are absolutely no fees involved UNLESS they are successful.

Charlie, Lawyers always get their cut... Neither the VA or the American Legion charge for their services... As a Chapter Commander and a Chapter Service Officer, the DAV provides the service free of charge... We work with our National Service Officers to enter claims and follow them through to conclusion.
