    For me when I am speaking especially to our younger veterans I Harp on them to 1) get in the VA health care system 2) get in a primary care provider group 3) make at minimum annual check ups 4) at these annual check ups talk about your Service Connected illnesses and injuries. Be frank and open have they improved have they gotten worse what medications seem to work and those that no longer work.
    I had a VA scheduled reevaluation and since I was not using the systems I was down graded. Once I showed my civil doctors records I was promptly given it back with back pay. The VA did a records review only I never seen a Provider. This was 2003 I believe.

    My RFE was done 15 years after the initial award, so needless to say, it took me by surprise. Either way, it worked in my favor as I was awarded an increase and it went static at that point.

    Just so you all know… best way to ensure you get an actual copy of this info is with the FOIA request. 99% of VSOs will NOT print from VBMS. Also, going to a regional office will most likely lead to them having you fill out an FOIA anyways.

I just spoke with a veteran that went to the Baltimore Regional Office to get their Code Sheet and they were told to "Please fill out an FOIA request and we will process it and it should arrive in a few months. We do not provide that information at this office." Also, can you point to a resource that lists the Regional Office phone numbers (as you said to call in this video) because EVERY place that can be searched just lists the 1-800 general number.

    I believe that the VA benefits web page should provide all Vets the ability to download our C-file directly to our computer. Why should a VSO or attorney have access to our data but we do not. It is another delay tactic (~6 months) making it more difficult to file additional claims, in spite of a ITF. If we all submit this with your position to your legislators we could influence their support to direct the VBA to make this happen.

      The VA's 55-year-old rule protects veterans' disability ratings from being reduced after they turn 55. This means that veterans are no longer required to attend periodic Compensation and Pension (C&P) examinations to prove their condition hasn't changed, unless there's reason to suspect fraud.
