Update on Medical Records

About a week ago I finally read the contents of the big envelope that I got from Congressman Adam Putnam's office. It contained some things that I completely forgot about. Much of the information in my files was useful to me in furthering my claim. However, they failed to send me what I specifically asked for, my C&P exams from June 2007. So I called his office and spoke to Pam Fuller and told her that I still need those records. She said that she would inform the person that is handling this. So, I am still waiting for those records.

I also sent a letter to the VA Appeals Management Center telling them that they had overlooked a great deal of evidence in my favor when making prior decisions concerning my claim. I hope that they actually read my letter and verify my information. That should lead to an increase in my service-connected rating.

Contents of the Envelope

I got a large envelope from Congressman Adam Putnam's office about a week ago. I just opened it yesterday. It had some of my medical records going back to the 1970's when I was stationed at Ft. Carson. I found some useful stuff there that I pointed out to the VA in the letter that I am going to mail to them tomorrow. However, they did not send me what I specifically asked for! That was the C & P exams from June of 2007. I will have to contact his office again and make it quite clear that I still need those records. Unfortunately, I deleted the emails that I got from his office prior to opening that envelope. I will have to call his office again to request those particular records.
