Hey there. I need some assistance with my disability claim.
Of course. Have you filed a claim for disability compensation then?
No, not yet. I actually have some questions about it first.
================
I've been wondering if I have to turn in additional forms, other than the standard ones. Do you know more about that?
In some cases, you may need to turn in one or more additional forms to support your disability claim. You should visit our website to find out which forms you need.
================
Err, alright. Well, I have another question. I went to a non-VA health care provider for diagnosis. Do I need to send you any documents in this case?
Yes, you'll need to upload copies of all medical records that can provide information about the disability you're claiming.
================
I'm not sure if my disability is part of your records, can I claim it anyway?
Of course you can. Remember, you'll also want to upload statements that support your claim. These statements should be from people who know about, or who you've talked to about, your claimed medical condition and how and when it occurred.
================
The next step would be to upload evidence for my disability claim then, right?
Correct. You can continue uploading more evidence for up to one year to support your claim. Evidence may include supporting documents like medical test results, doctor's reports, and other records.
