Can We Build A Document Repository To Support Va Claims?

[Tbird]

Lots of folks do research for themselves or other veterans they are helping. Doing this research they sometimes end up with documents that may be useful to other veterans.

These documents may be photo's of bases that for example illustrate the conditions, perhaps rooster's or after action reports or any official documents that may help another veteran prove their claim. Not personal identification information.

Do you all think this is worth collecting and making available on HadIt.com? Folks would have to scan their documents in as PDF's and I would have to set up a specific place for them to upload them and categorize them for searchability.

Let me know what you think.

TBird,

I think it is a great idea. This website is all about sharing information and helping each other. The more we can share, the more we can help.

I'll second georgiapapa's vote. One thing that I believed helped with establishing "boots on the ground" were pictures from a cruise book with captions.

Yes yes yes, it would actually save a lot of time as for as staying up late nights researching. When This information we find pertains to a claim or similar , combat related stressor non combat related stressors,& medical rotational, EED, ect,,ect,,and help with a lot of misunderstood information.

Great Idea Ms T

I think PDF format for all documents would be best, photo's could even be PDF's it's pretty easy to scan something in and save it as a pdf file or print to PDF. I need to look at ways to organize it and make it searchable, let me look around at some ways to do this and any suggestions you have post them here.
