Berta Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 The VA stores them-I forget where- if you mean medical records, just write to the Records Access Officer at the last VAMC that treated the veteran and request a copy of them. NARA most likely still has the veterans SMRs and these can be requested via a SF 180 - right at the NARA site. Only surviving spouses and immediate next if kin-if no surviving spouse- are legally able to obtain any deceased veteran's medical records- I assume that you are helping a widow or widower of a vet? They are the sole persons who can request this information.If they are deceased -only direct next of kin can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
