Lower Back Claim
Hello everyone, I am new here, so I am asking folks to please review and offer your opinions. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. While I was on active duty from 1990-1995, I was injured numerous times during military training. I originally filed a claim back regarding my back in 1995, but it was denied.

Va Lost My Records!
Just wanted to know if anyone has had this happen to them and what were they able to do about it. I have open claims that have been ongoing for a year and when I try and inquire about them through my VSO or calling and emailing I have been informed that they can not find one of the volumes of my records. How does this happen? So basically all the paperwork and doctors statements that I sent in with my claim are now gone.
