What you should do right after your initial consult with SOS.
You MUST lean in to this. Seriously.
Take the 4138 we completed for you during your initial consultation and submitted for you and PRINT IT OUT.
HIGHLIGHT all the contentions placed on that 4138.
Call your primary care provider. (VA or private.)
Schedule an appointment to have that provider GIVE YOU A CURRENT DIAGNOSIS for EACH CONDITION and how these relate to your TIME IN SERVICE. (Service connection.) TAKE A WITNESS TO ALL EXAMS,
Now you have a “current diagnosis” with service connection.
This now becomes a “service-connected disability”. (Continuation of symtomology.)
These reports now become a part of your permanent medical history which VA will obtain as we instructed them to obtain for you.(Remember? You don’t have to curate or provide your records.)
Get it?
