How VA Weighs Private vs VA Medical Evidence
Many veterans wonder whether the VA gives more weight to medical records from VA healthcare providers than records from private doctors. The answer isn't based on where the evidence comes from. Instead, VA decision-makers evaluate all relevant medical evidence and consider factors such as the quality of the examination, the completeness of the records, and how well the medical findings are supported. In this Flash Training, you'll learn how VA and private medical evidence fit into the disability evaluation process. Educational Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only. It is not legal or medical advice. Every VA disability claim is decided based on the individual facts, applicable laws, regulations, and evidence.
