Berta, I broke my back in the service as well as the hearing loss. They are both documented in my service medical records. When I got out of service, I filed a claim thru my VA rep. He couldn't find my medical papers on the back or hearing lose. So I waited for 15 years and 3 va reps later and my records were found!! I went to the Disable American Vets rep this past September in Big Springs, TX. He copied everything and sent it in. I had 7 pages pertaining to my broken back and hearing loss. I'm waiting for the appointment for the C&P. I have no faith in the VA Reps or the VA in general.

On 12-9-06, I received a letter from the VA regional office at Waco, TX. They want me to either give them additional information or just tell them to proceed with the claim. About three months ago, I filed for bilateral hearing lose and a fractured 11th/12th vertebrae which were in my file and not previously sent in by my VA rep years ago. To make a long story short, the VA reps said the information on my broken spine and hearing lose were not in the file. 15 years later, the information was in my file! My DAV rep in Big Springs, TX said about 2 months ago I should be getting a C&P and hearing exam. I never got an appointment time. I'm still waiting for that. I think it's kind of early to be receiving a letter indicating you have 60 days to send in additional information. All the information I have is in my medical records. What else is there?
