Before filing your claim gather as much medical evidence as you can possibly find. Do not rely on the Veteran’s Administration to obtain all of the evidence for you, even though they have a duty to assist, that does not mean they have to guarantee that they gather all the evidence that is available for anyone’s VA Compensation Claims.
For example, you are filing a claim for sinusitis, you would gather all of the evidence such as a printout from your local pharmacy where you obtained medications, receipts for over-the-counter medications such as Flonase, Afrin, or antihistamines. Additionally, obtain doctors’ notes for every doctor visit you went to regarding your sinuses. Finally, have your spouse or significant other, roommate, or whoever knows about your sinus problems (which may even include coworkers), write “buddy letters “stating what they witnessed how often you had sinus infections anything that stands out in their mind regarding your sinus issues.
The most important thing in filing a claim is providing the VA with the evidence. If you provide them with enough evidence, they have to find your claim credible, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll decide in your favor. You can apply this example to every imaginable disability that one could be rated for.
