Gee, Mcafee, sue hope someone else chimes in. Seems like there should be a history trail somewhere in the VA or where you were discharged to find your SMRs. Sorry, I didn;t understand how long the records have been missing.

Other than St. Louis. the VA or what military headquarters may have you, I sure dont know where to start unless its back at the last base or fort you were stationed at. If needed, some other documents that may help support VA claims in the meanwhile may be any personnel reports of accidents, government ratings on those or waivers for medical reasons. I have found 'duty' marching or aerobic waivers filed in my personnel records and a finding of fact in my financial records regards a military vehicle incident (I was cleared!). Other ways to 'recoup' some of the medical events could be through family letters or counseling offices that you may have used.

I feel for you, having been treated at other military medical facilities some of my treatment records just never made it into my SMRs at all. I am only able to establish those events because of patient treatment copies.

Not good , If I were you, I would be calling My Veteran Rep and everyone else that I could think of that had anything to do with your claim and see if I could come up with any thing at all and I would get copies made of everything I did find and start my own file. I have copies of the copies of the copies just to be safe. Don't trust anyone. Thats cold but true in the VA claims wars.

I see you were rated 10%, were these records lost after your filing date? Who had their hands on them last?

Thank You all for your concern and your feedback NY.NY.1978 to 1988 NJ.1988 -1993 ATL. Ga.1993 -2004 and back to NJ . I have all VAHCS from 2004 to present. NPR from ST LOUIS can not produce all SMR only hospitalization records and sugery reports and such all other such as AIT records and BCT records they can nopt produce? I do have some documentation but during the coarse or time frame of constant care for these issues clearly shows the service connection.The last time i saw my actual MED.File was in Atl.Ga. since i have moved back to NJ the Battle is on and these folks here at VARO are just plain mean and nasty no common courtesy or manners.every question is a redirect or no answer or confrontational.To be quite frank i am so sick of these arseholes i am that close to bustin a gasket.And this will still not resolve the issues.thirty years of the samre bull shit sick of it .Please forgive me i do not wish to offend anyone iam little rattled on top of all the other nonsense. Thank You All God Bless

Do you receive SSA or did you ever apply for SSA?

The VA here in NY told me-as well as the Newark VA that my husband had no medical records from Newark NJ VA at all.

Since that was where he was diagnosed with PTSD it didnt make sense to me.

I found all of these Newark VA records at the local SSA office.

One other thought-

in a prior post in March you stated:

"Hello I have submitted to the US Army Board of Corrections and i checked the Status of and this is what was posted by them"

Is it possible that the Board of Corrections might have these records?
