MLK Talks 'New Phase' Of Civil Rights Struggle, 11 Months Before His Ass...

I'll chime in on this one. Here you see it says "pertinent" records and not the "entire" [medical] record and I say that in brackets because it also includes the veteran's claims folder or C-File as it's called. That's the file that has everything you send to VA or they receive. Such as civilian medical records, personnel records and the like. Should you wanna acquire a copy of it you'll have to submit a FOIA Request. That process can take months and maybe more months now due to the PACT Act's anticipated backlog burden that just took effect On January 1st. You can see what the National Archives has on you by sending them a completed and signed Standard Form 180. Mine were in St. Louis but yours may be elsewhere just look on the form's instructions for the name and address of the facility corresponding to your discharge date and branch of service. What to expect when you call the VA's infamous 1-800-827-1000 line in a later article. Having fun yet learning the workings of the VA Machine? Hope so or Im wasting my time.
