Hey there, fellow veterans! Warrior Allegiance here, your trusted ally in the journey through disability compensation claims. Today, we’re delving into the intricacies of handling SSA requests for medical evidence, ensuring you understand your rights and how we can assist you every step of the way.
Understanding the Basics
At Warrior Allegiance, we know that navigating the labyrinth of bureaucracy can be daunting. That’s why it’s crucial to understand the requirements laid out in 38 U.S.C. 5105, which mandates that evidence filed with either the SSA or the VA must be made available to the other agency if needed. This means your medical records are vital pieces of the puzzle, and we’re here to ensure they’re handled with care and precision.
Where SSA Sends Requests
When SSA needs medical evidence from the VA, they send requests to the VA regional office (RO) of jurisdiction. This could include requests for medical evidence regarding a child’s status or reports on hospitalized veterans. Warrior Allegiance ensures that these requests are handled promptly and efficiently, advocating for your rights every step of the way.
Ensuring Confidentiality
Confidentiality is paramount when it comes to medical records, especially those containing sensitive information. 38 U.S.C. 7332 mandates that VA maintains the confidentiality of certain medical records, including those related to drug abuse, alcoholism, HIV/AIDS, and sickle cell anemia. Rest assured, Warrior Allegiance always prioritizes the security and privacy of your medical information.
Aiding with Form SSA-827
Form SSA-827, Authorization to Disclose Information to the Social Security Administration, plays a crucial role in the exchange of medical evidence. Our team at Warrior Allegiance is well-versed in handling these forms, ensuring that your rights are protected while facilitating the flow of necessary information between agencies.

When providing medical evidence to SSA, there are specific steps to follow to ensure a smooth process. From annotating cover letters to filing documents in the corresponding claims folder, Warrior Allegiance takes care of the intricate details, allowing you to focus on your well-being while we handle the paperwork.
