Ncoic Had Medical Records

[keyystone]

Not exactly sure where this question should be placed, but here goes...

I was revieweing an old copy of my medical records (not from my C-File), and noticed a note I had not paid much attention to previously. Apprently for a period of time, which I am unaware as to the duration of, my NCOIC had my personal MEDICAL records. Is there typically some substantiation for an NCOIC to have any part of a soldiers medical records at all?

Bear in mind, I did not get along well with this NCOIC, and it was not too long before I left the military. Ironically a short duration of those said records are missing. Not sure if there is a connection, but interesting.

If ncoic stands for non-commissioned officer in charge, then I can think of no reason they would/should have your medical records. This could be different in the NG, for all I know. jmo

If you filed a claim and these records were pertinant to this claim and you were denied, These records can be new and material as well as satisfy the requirements of 3.156c.

You bet John! 3.156

I cannot imagine how a NCO even got your SMRs.Unless maybe they were a Corpsman too?

The 'note' alone, that you have ,is evidence that some of your SMRs were missing when VA made their last decision.

It might not matter at all for VA claims purposes but then again..... it could.

I am waiting for my C-file to come in and see what they have. some of the statements in their old decisions seem like they are missing information even from the VA Clinic I used to visit in Biloxi.
