Question

I have a question. As it stands I am currently at 80% but things have gotten so much worse for me physically. Well lets just say i just left the mental health clinic again after a two week stay. So i am considering filing to have some things service connected and recieve the other 80% i need to be at 100%
Now it is my understanding that if i provide all of my medical records and nexus letters and other necessary items with my claim, that this can expedite the process. Is this true?
Or is it easier/better to just let the va locate my records. In the past that normally took a year (to locate the records, schedule and attend my C&P, and receive my results). So i really wonder is it going to at help speed up the process if i were to get my records and then send all of that in with my claim??
somebody said it can take months for the nprc to mail out records, which would pretty much put me in the same situation as letting the va locate the records on their own.

I misunderstood your statement of "if I provide my medical records......" as you already having them. It will probably be faster for you to do it, since you only have to worry about you and not 10,000

File an FDC if you can. There seems to be no downside, if you dont meet the criteria for the FDC due to VA not having your records, they change it to a regular claim. Of course, best is for y

Submit everything you have, and get the things you don't have and/or facilitate it for the VA as much as possible for them to get your records (ie, sending in a valid 4142 for whatever records.) This
