Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted October 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted October 24, 2011 You can't ask for your medical records from the 1-800 peopld (VA hotline?). You get your records from the civilian treatment facilities, your unit, or if its been a long time, from NPRC in St. Louis. You can request your VA file from VA, but you have to do it in writing and it can take some time-months for some. If you request your claim file in the midst of a claim I would think that it would delay your claim if they did the copying first. If they waited to finish the claim before copying you could be waiting a while, and not have the information you are looking for. The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching. --17 different possible sources, all lacking verifiable attribution.

Gulfvet45 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Starting about 1996 the DoD was sending the SMR In the 1990s, the military services discontinued the practice of filing health records with the personnel record portion at the NPRC. In 1992, the Army began retiring most of its former members' health records to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Over the next six years, the other services followed suit: Branch Status Health Record to VA Army Discharged, retired, or separated from any component October 16, 1992 Navy Discharged, retired, or separated from any component January 31, 1994 Air Force Discharged, retired, or separated from Active Duty Discharged or retired from Reserves or National Guard May 1, 1994 June 1, 1994 Marine Corps Discharged, retired, or separated from any component May 1, 1994 Coast Guard Discharged, retired, or separated from Active Duty - Reservists with 90 days active duty for training April 1, 1998 After the dates listed above, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Records Management Center, in St. Louis, MO, became responsible for maintaining active duty health records and managing their You can't ask for your medical records from the 1-800 peopld (VA hotline?).

JT24usn Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Cant you wait for the decision and then ask for str's. From reading this sight and my experience it Will sliw down your claim because your file will have to be pulled and str's copied. It would seem logical to wait for the decision and then ask for the str's. You haveone year to file for reconsideration from the decision.
