Practitioner review packet

Review and personalize the request letter before sharing. Ask your clinician about their preferred private delivery channel, records, appointment and fees. Original uploaded records are NOT included automatically; choose any originals to share separately. The appendix contains sensitive selected source text. Downloading this packet does not send it.

Read the request letter, practitioner guide, editable draft, and evidence appendix in order. The completeness checklist is a drafting aid, not medical validation. Keep any clinician-returned letter separate from this unreviewed draft.

Bold bracketed fields identify actions for the clinician. Review all drafted medical content, not only those fields. Correct, remove, or independently adopt the proposed reasoning before signing a final opinion. This packet does not verify a signature or make a draft ready to submit to VA.
