<p>
If you upload a digital copy of all your medical records, we can review
your claim more quickly. Uploading a digital file works best if you have
a computer with a fast Internet connection. The digital file can be
uploaded as a .pdf or other photo file format, like a .jpeg or .png.

<h3 className="vads-u-font-size--h4">
We get your medical records for you
</h3>
<p>
If you tell us the name of the private doctor or hospital that treated
you for your condition, we can get your medical records for you. Getting
your records may take us some time, and this could mean that it’ll take
us longer to make a decision on your claim.

<h4>Patient Authorization:</h4>
<p>
I voluntarily authorize and request disclosure (including paper, oral,
and electronic interchange) of: All my medical records; including
information related to my ability to perform tasks of daily living. This
includes specific permission to release:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
All records and other information regarding my treatment,
hospitalization, and outpatient care for my impairment(s) including,
but not limited to:
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
Psychological, psychiatric, or other mental impairment(s)
excluding "psychotherapy notes" as defined in 45 C.F.R. §164.501,
</li>
<li>Drug abuse, alcoholism, or other substance abuse,</li>
<li>Sickle cell anemia,</li>
<li>
Records which may indicate the presence of a communicable or
non-communicable disease; and tests for or records of HIV/AIDS,
</li>
<li>Gene-related impairments (including genetic test results)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Information about how my impairment(s) affects my ability to complete
tasks and activities of daily living, and affects my ability to work.
</li>
<li>
Information created within 12 months after the date this authorization
is signed in Item 11, as well as past information.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
You should not complete this form unless you want the VA to obtain
private treatment records on your behalf. If you have already provided
these records or intend to obtain them yourself, there is no need to
fill out this form. Doing so will lengthen your claim processing time.
</p>
<h4>Important:</h4>
<p>
In accordance with 38 C.F.R. §3.159(c), "VA will not pay any fees
charged by a custodian to provide records requested."
</p>
<h4>Patient Acknowledgment:</h4>
<p>
I hereby authorize the sources listed in Section IV, to release any
information that may have been obtained in connection with a physical,
psychological or psychiatric examination or treatment, with the
understanding that VA will use this information in determining my
eligibility to veterans benefits I have claimed.
</p>
<p>
I understand that the source being asked to provide the Veterans
Benefits Administration with records under this authorization may not
require me to execute this authorization before it provides me with
treatment, payment for health care, enrollment in a health plan, or
eligibility for benefits provided by it.
</p>
<p>
I understand that once my source sends this information to VA under this
authorization, the information will no longer be protected by the HIPAA
Privacy Rule, but will be protected by the Federal Privacy Act, 5 USC
552a, and VA may disclose this information as authorized by law.
</p>
<p>
I also understand that I may revoke this authorization in writing, at
any time except to the extent a source of information has already relied
on it to take an action. To revoke, I must send a written statement to
the VA Regional Office handling my claim or the Board of Veterans'
Appeals (if my claim is related to an appeal) and also send a copy
directly to any of my sources that I no longer wish to disclose
information about me.
</p>
<p>
I understand that VA may use information disclosed prior to revocation
to decide my claim.
</p>
