What if you don't have enough time to get all your conditions documented in your medical record before your VA MSC submits the VA Form 21-526EZ?

I'm currently going through a MEB. I recently met with my VA MSC who advised me to list every medical condition I've ever had on VA Form 21-526EZ. He also recommended that if a condition hasn’t been documented by a medical provider, I should get it documented as soon as possible and send him the medical record so he can send it with the form.

The problem is, I have several conditions I've never seen my PCM for so they’ve never been documented. And unfortunately, the earliest available PCM appointment at my base isn’t until next month.

Can I still claim these conditions on the form and have them evaluated during the C&P exam?

Claim everything! Just get in to see a doc as soon as possible. Its most important to be seen before you get out at the very least. I would try to get seen at first available slot and bring those records to your main C&P exam so you can explain that you had these issues for a long time but just now got seen for them.

Anything that isn't unfitting it matters most that you get seen before you get out. Its not as important if you get seen before doing a C&P as long as those conditions are not likely to be found unfit by the PEB.
 
Definitely will do!

Do you know if anyone has had a VA disability rating given for a condition that wasn't documented in their records?

I have a list of over 10 conditions I need to discuss with my PCM and I'm sure they're not going too pleased if I dump the entire list of conditions on them. Also, because these visits are very short, I'm concerned they might limit the amount of conditions we can discuss during the visit. Figured if I could narrow the list down that might help but not sure if it's worth the risk.

Go to first visit and ask how many you can be seen for? Make additional appointments. You really want to have everything documented. Though I may argue that if you have issues so slight you don't bother to get seen for they probably aren't going to be rated high. Most of the time they are 0%. The key is to be seen for all of them because a small issue now could be a big issue 40 years from now! I got out and only was rated 10%. then 10 years ago i ruptured my Achilles and my rating went up to 30%. Now because I don't walk very well I have back issues and other things popping up. Haven't been back to the VA to get an increase but I can if I want to spend the time to do so. So as you can see you just don't know what the future holds.
 
Also, if you're needing to get conditions documented and haven't seen your PCM yet, another way is utilizing local urgent cares (if warranted). Make sure you get your notes at the end of the visits and take them to your military hospital to be loaded into your records and also send to your MSC. Everything doesn't have to be from a on-base PCM.
