I went to my VAMC (North Texas Dallas) records release area and asked for all my medical records so I could prepare a new claim. I was informed there would be some 10,000 pages so they would mail them to me. I declined that and asked if I could get it in a digital format of some kind. The guy at the desk said, "No, we don't have the capability to do that."
Has anyone come across a VAOGC determination or other ruling or regulation that allows the veteran access to their records in a digital format?
Also, slightly related, I can get my X-Rays and Scans on a disk, but there is a handmade sign at the radiology window that says they will charge $15.00 for each request. I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to charge a fee unless it is a duplicate request that has been provided previously.
