VA Duty To Assist Error!!! OH NO WHAT IS THIS? WHAT DO I DO?

A VA duty to assist error is when the VA fails to make a reasonable effort to help you get the evidence you need for your claim. How much effort the VA puts into getting your records depends on the type of record.

VA, military, and other types of federal records: The VA will make requests until they get the records. They’ll only stop trying if they’re sure the records don’t exist. The VA will make at least one follow-up request to try to get your records.

38 CFR § 21.1032 states that the VA has a duty to assist claimants in obtaining evidence.
