VA Gets Helpful Access to Defense Department Electronic Medical Records

According to the U.S. Department of Defense website, the Department of Defense has recently moved to make the health records of troops electronically available to the Department of Veterans Affairs.  This effort that will hopefully allow the VA to improve its processing time on claims for disability benefits.

How will electronic medical records help improve VA’s claims processing

When a veteran applies for disability benefits, the VA usually needs to obtain medical records about medical treatment that occurred during a veteran’s service to determine if there is an in service event so that it can determine if there is a nexus between the disability and the event.  Medical records for treatment during service are often necessary to establish that there was an event or that the condition started during service.  Hopefully, now that the VA will have electronic access to these records, the VA claims examiners in the regional offices will be able to process applications for benefits more quickly.

Couldn’t be happier with the service they provided me. After so much time spent working with the VA to grant me disability for my service connected disabilities I was denied. Exhausted with the process and ready to give up a friend recommended this firm to assist me with an appeal. They handled all of it, keeping me updated regularly on progress, and eventually getting me the disability rating that was due. This was the happiest I’ve been to pay an invoice for services received.Kendall Lucy
100 % recomendable, in my humble opinion they are the best. I am very grateful with their assistance in filling my claim with the VA and winning They have done an outstanding job. They are professional ThanksFrancisco Javier Pérez A
They assessed my case as being potentially tdiu qualified and got to work right away. I only provided the information they asked me for and let them do their work. I didn’t hound them, I didn’t pester them, I just let them do their work and provided what they asked for and trusted the process. Within a few months or so I was awarded a tdiu rating. In my case I’m a combat vet of oef, but the Va had denied me twice for a benefit that I know I qualified for. The Perkins-studdard firm got the the benefit I deserved and I am eternally grateful for their expertise and hard work.M C

I saw Travis on some YouTube videos. It was the way he worded things, I just felt compelled to contact them about my situation, he seemed trustworthy. Travis told me he thought he could help me. I was hesitant, but proceeded. The claim process was long, but my claim was granted. They are organized and punctual. Jessica and Travis are a strong team. I feel the Lord led me to Perkins & Studdard. I consider Travis an advocate and friend. ThanksCorby Reese
