Hey so I am new to all this. I left the army in 2015 but have never filed a claim with the VA after all these years. I have never even been to the VA or doctor for about 11 years now. I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this situation and how they went about filing with VA and what steps I should take before filing a claim. I know my process will probally be more difficult due to the big gap of medical records but just looking for some tips that may help me get started. Thanks in advance!
