Documenting your claim, below is my system for going through service medical records. First thing I do after receiving a service medical record is number each page when I get to the end I go back and add 1 of 100 and so on.

Trouble Remembering? This helped me. I have memory problems and as some of you may know I highly recommend Evernote and have for years. Though I've found that writing helps me remember more. I ran across Tom's videos on youtube, I'm a bit geeky and I also use an IPad so if you take notes on your IPad or you are thinking of going paperless check it out. I'm really happy with it, I use it with a program called Noteshelf 2. Click here to purchase your digital journal. HadIt.com receives a commission on each purchase.
