Why Treatment Records Matter More Than Memory (VA Standard)

Category:

 

You know what happened in service. But if it’s not documented, the VA may not rely on it. Your memory is important—but the VA evaluates evidence. Treatment records are created at the time of care.
They document:
• Symptoms
• Clinical findings
• Diagnoses
• And follow-up
Personal statements describe events, but they are not the same as medical documentation.
