  5. How to Obtain Missing Records From Military.com: Q: How can records documenting an injury be obtained? A: Additional military and medical records can be ordered from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC). If VA Documentation is not readily available, you may order your VA records from the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA). http://www.va.gov/. Q: Is there another way to verify how an injury occurred if I cannot locate or obtain records documenting the injury? A: Yes, the VA or your military primary provider can prepare a note on letterhead or a consultation sheet documenting how the injury occurred, and this can be accepted as evidence (the primary provider cannot use “history of the soldier”). The VA or military primary providers must be willing to provide the letter and do so at their discretion. Provide the following documentation to the VA or your local Military Hospital (MTF): • Current medical documentation • Proof of being in the area where/when the injury or illness occurred (i.e. 2-1/2A orders, NCOERS, OERS or anything else to prove assignment) • Personal statement • Buddy statement (optional) * Note from CRSC: If using a letter or consultation sheet, CRSC needs a copy of the documentation that was reviewed by the licensed medical provider to make that determination. See the “Letter to the VA or MTF doctor” on www.crsc.army.mil.
