The Veterans Administration gave me all of my medical records when I requested them. That is their policy. I made my request at the VA hospital where I am treated. I’m glad that I had to appear personally show proof of my identity. They won’t give my records to someone who can not prove they are me. What’s wrong with that? I’m sorry they rejected your claim, but that was not because you didn’t have access to your records.

Stop and think a moment, consider why Mitt Romney spent ‘Public’ money to replace ‘Public’ computers and have aides buy news hard drives for their ‘Public’ computers and why emails were erased from ‘Publicly owned’ state servers? Does his actions ‘ring a bell’; maybe if “Tricky Dick” Nixon had been just a bit more through, those 28 minutes of recorded conversation wouldn’t forever remind Americans of his forced resignation – to avoid impeachment and probable criminal prosecution?

It does me and his refusal to show his income tax records and offshore bank accounts affirms my belief that Mitt Romney is a crook.

Hear, Hear!

The Veterans (NOT Veteran’s) Administration has “veteran unfriendly” rules in place.

They require a veteran visit a records repository IN PERSON to request and sign for copies of their own reports, tests and other records. This can be very “distance inconvenient”. Isn’t it “a bit of a reach” when “privacy statutes” are used as excuses for rules and regulations that have the effect of preventing people’s timely access to THEIR OWN information?

I was told it was “against the law” for a VA doctor or department to mail a copy of a report of a visit REQUIRED BY THE VA to REPEAT prior testing related to a disability claim filed some six years before and appealed.

In my opinion, the claim would have had to be approved, and so the Administrative Law Judge (or whatever) sent the matter back down to the local VA so as to get back such further documentation as would appropriately support denial of said request. Such nonsense would NEVER be tolerated by an unbiased jurist in an unbiased court or by any “jury of one’s peers”.
