When submitting medical records for your VA claim, be like a squared-away squad leader—stay organized and ensure they're relevant to your claimed conditions. Lean on VSO experts to help you identify and compile the crucial documents. Remember, “accuracy by volume” doesn’t work in the field or in claims—quality over quantity is your best strategy.
When gathering evidence for your VA claim, think of it like assembling a “Mission Possible” dossier.
