The Va Won't Request Copies Of Your Civilian Dr's Records!

I am learning so many lesson's about what kind of wool the VA uses to cover our eyes. Government grade with lots of holes in it. I made a few mistakes that I was sure woulde never happen to me. I broke my neck in the service and have lots of residual crap going on with it plus a whole mess of other stuff. This is my third evaluation so you would have thought I would have learned from the first and second request for compensation for my health problems while I was in the Navy. One, I never ask to see what the evaluator was looking at my rating board. (They had not one of my civilian medical records, all I went to for almost 10 years straight was to a civilian medical facility) I did manage to send them some MRI's and some other BS. I went from 50 percent to 60. I know for a fact I should be at 100 percent. My Civilian doctor thinks I should apply for SS asap. I am just like so many other guys and gals out there that just seem to let things go and procrastinate about important things. To be honest with all the headaches I suffer from its like I just don't care. I get CRDP because I did 20. I am going to fight this time and not let the VA just give me some cock n bull story about why I don't rate. I sent them a release to obtain all my medical records from all of my civilian Dr's and just left it up to the VA to get them. Well, I won't make that mistake on my appeal. I am sending a copy of all my records and highlighting anything that has to do with my service related problems. If I have any advice for anyone out there. DO NOT JUST SIT ON YOUR BUTT and expect the VA to help you, you have to get involved with your own claim. and most importantley follow through. I will say that I called and asked about my records during the beginning of my claim and the VA said they had requested my records from my civilian Dr. BS! I went to see my Dr the other day and was going to go over what they must have missed..... they said the VA never requested the files!
