Personal Statement

[RepealNFA]

Good evening to all,
I was referred slightly before the government shutdown last year and I had my first VA appointment with optumserve on Tuesday. I'm sitting at home and thinking about a personal statement to type, any suggestions or guidelines? Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about loading up to the VA a statement in support of a claim? Or are you just talking about writing up what you want to say the the DBQ examiner?

If it’s a statement in support of a claim, it helps to keep it clear and focused on how your condition affects your daily life and work. If it’s for the DBQ exam, maybe outline key symptoms and examples so you don’t forget anything during the appointment.
