Im not really looking for affirmation- I want you guys to understand some of the process behind the scenes so you know why some things happen the way that they do. The time we spend tracking down records and/or re labeling them, merging them, whatever, is time that we aren't reading through them and actually working on your claim.

0 KC3 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 I have learned a lot with the feed back on this question. I will just print out the VA physicians notes from MHV for 23 visits and counselor notes. Do personnel at the RO need the medication history from VA for determining an increase or is that something the C&P examiner is more concerned with? My physician I see outside the VA has written me a general letter to VA but likes the VA to request personnel records.I believe he likes to speak with them if at all possible. I have a release form. Should this be included in the package just in case? ArNG11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted February 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2022 Your release out ours? If we do it it has to the 21-4142/4142a. the med increases will show in your provider notes where they discuss what’s happening. The medication lists themselves don’t show much. VA ratings are about symptoms, that’s hope they are rated in the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted February 6, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2022 Probably because every RO doesn’t have staff dedicated to in processing everything that comes from veterans and goes in their file, even voc rehab and debt mgt stuff. It all goes to one place and gets scanned in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We request them from VAMC but if you want to download them as a pdf and highlight the high points in Adobe Acrobat and resubmit it’s faster and easier for us (the searchers through your records) and t

I’m not a phone person, completely different position. Their clearance is considerably less. They can’t see claims. Ever. I can. agree to disagree in the rest. I didn’t forget but

Currently both are in use but the 21-4138 will be going away, eventually.
