How do I report a change in my medical condition?
If you are a veteran in California and you experience a change in your medical condition, there are several steps you can take to report it. First, you will need to gather up any medical records related to the new condition and have them prepared to present to the Veterans Administration (VA). You will then need to make an appointment with your local VA medical center to discuss the new condition. At the appointment, you should present the new medical records and explain what has changed in your medical condition. The VA will assess your new condition to determine if it is service-related, and if so, if it is eligible for disability benefits. You can also submit a disability benefits claim to the VA. This will require submitting copies of the medical records, as well as any other supporting documents that prove your condition is service-related. The VA will make a determination as to whether or not you are eligible for disability benefits based on your claim. It is important to note that reporting changes to your medical condition may affect your existing benefits. Therefore, it is important to remain in contact with your local VA medical center so that they know about any changes to your medical condition. By following these steps and remaining in contact with the VA, you can report any changes to your medical condition and make sure your disability benefits are up-to-date.
