Burn Pit/Gulf War Registry Exam

[sleepysurf]

Just looking for opinions about the burn pit/gulf war registry exam. I am taking both back to back fairly soon. I have filled out all the questionnaires but I am just wondering if I should bring my partial medical records. I have my Air Force records but I am missing my Army medical records...they never transferred over to the Air Force and I am still waiting on them. I am also missing I good chunk of my civilian medical records as my last doctor never forwarded them to me. I wonder if bringing the partial records only hurts any potential claims because they only paint half a picture at best. Just curious what other people think?

Did you ever fill out the eligibility exam on ebenefits? I called last week and they said they are months behind schedule for anything but I'm sure if they have to look and weed through your records it might take longer? Still new to the registry I filled out on ebenefits about amonth ago but those questions just ask about my deployments.... I hope others might have more info on your question

Thanks jfrei. Yes I was eligible for burn pit registry, filled out questions and called and scheduled exam with VA. I agree questions are mostly about the deployments but is also sounds like a general health exam to briefly discuss past health/military service. The appt reminder actually says to bring in "relevant medical records", but unfortunately I don't have them all.

Yeha I filled out about one month ago for my deployment to bastion in Afghanistan in 2009 we'd watch the sky at night lite up by the burn pits I never worried then what was burning
