I have a C & P exam scheduled for the 21st. I just talked to my state vet rep who submitted my claim. We were supposed to review my active duty records when they came in but he told me they came in on March 21st and had already been sent to the VA hospital where I cannot see them. There is a computer note saying "additional requests" had been made for my psych records involving referral to a civilian psychiatrist, implying to me that no reference to them was in the active duty records where they should have been.
I remembered the name of the civilian psych and he responded to a letter they sent; I have no idea what it said, most likely he doesn't remember me or there are no records. At least they know I didn't make him up.
My brother was given an early out from the same branch after psych treatment, but when he applied for SC disability he said the psych records had been purged and there was nothing to prove his case. So this is starting to sound ominous.
Any constructive comments would be appreciated. I am going to go to the hospital patient advocate to see if I can see the active duty stuff.
