0 Navy04 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Either request a Paper or CD copy. That is the only thing bud. I hear it can take up to 2 months.

0 kate7772 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 You would think that when you are receiving health care through VA that they would have that record in their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stillhere Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If your using VA health you need to go to ROI (release of information) office in your medical center and they will give them to you while you wait. The active duty medical will take a while as Navy said. Stillhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Navy04 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Go to ROI and they usually will only give you some Notes and mail the rest to you, as it takes a while. So if you need Mental notes first, get those then have them mail you what you can wait on. 100% PTSD 100% Back 60% Bladder Issues 50% Migraines 30% Crohn's Disease 30% R Shoulder 20% Radiculopathy, Left lower 10% Radiculopathy, Right lower 10% L Knee 10% R Knee Surgery 2005&2007 10% Asthma 10% Tinnitus 10% Damage of Cranial Nerve II 10% Scars SMC S SMC K OEF/OIF VET 100% VA P&T, Post 911 Caregiver, SSDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping there was a quicker way to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Navy04 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yeah, Sorry the SMRs are a pain in the butt. I have seen Veterans request their SMRs in the middle of a claim, and the VA delays the claim. I made 3 copies of my SMRs before I retired last year. I keep one in my car at all times, one at home, and one with the VA. I whipped out my Medical Record last week when I had 6 C&P exams for an FDC increase, and I was able to help 2 Docs that did not have my file in front of them.
