Prove Work Impact: Request HR Attendance and Accommodation Records Today
Make your rating match reality: request your HR attendance and accommodations file today. Email your employer’s HR asking for the last 12–24 months of attendance logs, FMLA approvals, accommodation letters, write-ups, and performance notes showing missed time, early outs, or duty restrictions tied to your condition. Ask for PDF copies. As soon as you receive them, log into VA.gov, open your claim, hit “Upload evidence,” and submit the files under supporting documents. This directly proves occupational impairment—the backbone of higher ratings.
