I’m getting ready to file claims for several disabilities that are secondary to my service-connected conditions, and I’ll have a lot of medical records to submit. I’ve seen advice that adjudicators don’t appreciate having to dig through massive, disorganized document dumps.
For those of you who’ve done this, what’s the most effective way to submit supporting medical records when you have multiple secondaries? Do you scan and submit everything related to each condition and let the VA sort it out, cherry-pick only the most relevant records (diagnosis, treatment notes, nexus-supporting entries, submit records organized by disability in separate uploads or use a cover sheet or summary to flag key pages for the adjudicator?
Any advice on how to structure this would be really helpful. I want to give them what they need without burying the important stuff.
