ALL:
New to this forum and just starting the claims process. Background is Retired Army National Guard Officer with 31+ years total and retirement date of 31 December 2016. No previous VA claims filing and getting ready to start the process. That start is going to entail an appointment with the Department of Veterans Affairs in downtown Indianapolis to start the filing process.
I have a list of issues that include respiratory (Sinus/ COPD), Tinnitus, Feet/ Ankle, Knee, Shoulders, Lower Back, Vision (Cataract), Diabetes, PTSD/ OSA and Prostate Cancer.
My question is should I go into all of these areas with the initial "starting" a claims process and what upfront documentation should I bring?
Another question is in a case where there is no existing military medical record (Sciatic Nerve), how would I be able to address that with them up front and then build a nexus from there beyond a "presumed" case?
Any help would be great!
