jdelta Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I was able to get a hold of some medical records from a clinic that i went to a few years ago.

0 Carl the Engineer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well, both. If, and I would, you send them with, they will verify or get there own copies. The more info you can give them the better. Unless it goes against what you're trying to accomplish, but that's a whole other deal. Yes, Hamslice Vync 1 “There is no hook my friend.

When sending non-VA claim-related medical records to the VA, I prefer to be proactive and submit the correct form along with my claim. If you don't, then it can cause delays because the VA will have to send you the form for you to fill out and send back. By doing this initially, you take out those extra steps and speed things up a bit. https://www.va.gov/vaforms/form_detail.asp?FormNo=21-4142 "If it's stupid but works, then it isn't stupid."- From Murphy's Laws of Combat Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, so use at own risk and/or consult a qualified professional representative.

Third party PII... like what? Names of doctors? Clinicians? I deserve to know all that, including any other parties that may have been consulted. I don’t like the idea of selective deletion. That can’t be automated very well at all so it means someone’s are going to be doing it- a fallible process, and once it’s gone, then what? Or are they just redacting the file that is sent and leaving the original alone? The Earth is degenerating these days.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted October 21, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well this was just implemented on Oct 1st 2019...I tell all veterans to request an updated C-FILE. Now with this ''new process for responding to Privacy Act requests'' I am not sure to say updated? If they start deleting 3rd party's from the C-file they should contact the Veteran and advise before they delete anything from his C-file (JMO) I notice they must put a security code on that link they put up I can't get into it on my computer? 'VA has amended its process for those requesting their own information while respecting the privacy rights of third-parties by redacting third-party personally identifiable information (PII) from the claims files.'' They start deleting things from a veterans C-File he needs to be notified before they do.

Yup. Saves va the trouble of going through everything your doctor sends rather Than just the relevant stuff. I always go through them, find what I need, and type up a cover sheet with the main points
