Alternative Sources for Service Records in Fire-Related Cases  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on alternative sources for service records for fire-related cases, including the records destroyed in the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) fire the facts required in order to search for information in fire-related cases the appropriate action on claims with a missing or incomplete NA Form 13055, Request for Information Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data, and sending development letters to the claimant to request information on alternative sources for service records. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Records Destroyed in the NPRC FireOn July 12, 1973, a fire at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) (13) in St. Louis destroyed approximately 80 percent of the stored records for Army veterans serving between November 1, 1912, and January 1, 1960, and 75 percent of the stored records for Air Force personnel with the surnames Hubbard through Z, who were discharged between September 25, 1947, and January 1, 1964, and were neither retired nor in the Reserves. Note: Records of Army retirees who were alive on July 12, 1973, escaped the fire because they were stored at the U.S. Army Reserve Personnel Command (AR-PERSCOM) (11).Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 26. Alternative Sources for Service Records in Fire-Related Cases, Continued b. Facts Required in Order to Search for Information in Fire-Related CasesThe NPRC must rely on secondary evidence in fire-related cases. In these cases, the information provided by the regional office (RO) is vital to record reconstruction. Request the service records using the Personnel Information Exchange System (PIES) M01 request code and simultaneously notify the claimant of the need to complete NA Form 13055, Request for Information Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data, if the service dates indicate a veterans records are potentially fire-related. In order to facilitate searches of auxiliary records, the veteran or claimant normally will need to complete NA Form 13055, so the regional office has sufficient information to submit a request with the PIES M05 request code. Important: Occasionally, information required on NA Form 13055 is available in the claims folder. In these cases, do not delay submission of a PIES request in order to have the NA Form 13055 completed. Enter the appropriate information in the appropriate fields under the M05 request code. c. Appropriate Action on Claims With Missing or Incomplete NA Form 13055Use the table below to determine the appropriate action to take on claims with a missing or incomplete NA Form 13055. If ...Then ...the Records Management Center (RMC) responds that the case is fire-related the claimant fails to complete NA Form 13055, and there is no indication that there is a legal bar to benefitscomplete a memo of service record unavailability (see M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.I.59) refer the claim to the rating activity for a decision based on the evidence of record, and include another NA Form 13055 with the notification letter, explaining that further searches for STRs cannot be made without a completed NA Form 13055Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 26. Alternative Sources for Service Records in Fire-Related Cases, Continued  STYLEREF "Block Label" c. Appropriate Action on Claims With Missing or Incomplete NA Form 13055 (continued) If ...Then ...the claimant fails to furnish an NA Form 13055 within the prescribed time limit, and the evidence of record indicates there is a legal bar to benefits or the claimant failed to furnish evidence needed to determine whether a legal bar existsdeny the claim for failure to prosecute notify the claimant of the reason for the denial enclose another NA Form 13055 and inform the claimant that a fully completed form is necessary for further search for STRs, and furnish notice of procedural and appellate rights.claimant furnishes an obviously incomplete or inadequate NA Form 13055, and there is insufficient information to complete the fields under the PIES M05 request codedeny the claim without submitting the PIES request fully advise the claimant of the reason for the denial, and send the claimant another NA Form 13055 and inform the claimant that a fully completed form is necessary for further search for STRs.the claimant furnishes a completed NA Form 13055, but an inquiry with the M05 code still results in a negative reply, and there is no indication of a legal bar to benefitscomplete a memo of service record unavailability (see M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.I.59), and refer the claim to the rating activity for a decision based on the evidence of record d. Sending Development Letters to the Claimant to Request Information on Alternative Sources for Service RecordsWhen sending development letters to the claimant to request information on alternative sources for service records, the correspondence must avoid creating the impression that the claimant would have obtained favorable action on the claim had the records in existence at the NPRC not been destroyed by fire. Reference: For more information on alternative sources for service treatment records (STRs), see HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secE" \l "III.iii.2.E.27"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.E.27. 27. Alternative Sources for STRs  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on alternative sources for STRs, including the reasons alternative sources may be needed, and alternative documents that might substitute for STRs. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Reasons Alternative Sources May Be NeededAlternative sources for STRs are needed for reasons including the 1973 fire at the NPRC which destroyed much of the Army and Air Force STR collection, and the limitations of STRs, since they might not contain information from private heath care providers that the veteran might have seen during service or soon after. Reference: For information on obtaining service records in fire-related cases, see HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secE" \l "III.iii.2.E.26"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.E.26. b. Alternative Documents that Might Substitute for STRsThe following is a partial list of alternative documents that might substitute for STRs for the purpose of determining service connection for a disability or cause of death: the VA military files statements from service medical personnel buddy certificates or affidavits State or local accident and police reports employment physical examination reports medical evidence from civilian/private hospitals, clinics, and physicians where or by whom a veteran was treated, either during service or shortly after separation letters written during service photographs taken during service pharmacy prescription records, and/or insurance examinations reports. 28. Surgeon Generals Office (SGO) Extracts  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on SGO extracts, including the history of the SGO extracts SGO extracts available to the NPRC uses for information in the SGO extracts SGO extracts of Army facility hospital admissions information for other service branches available in the SGO extracts identification of information available in the SGO extracts hospitalization information available in the SGO extracts, and discharge information available in the SGO extracts. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. History of the SGO ExtractsDuring 1988, the NPRC (address code 13) obtained magnetic tape records from the National Research Council (NRC), a private research organization, which represented extracts of approximately ten million military hospital admission records of the Surgeon General's Office (SGO). Through May 18, 1990, additional SGO records for the same periods were added to the original collection when files, initially considered indecipherable because of undocumented coding systems, were later translated from information gathered during the project. The NPRC completed the decoding effort as of May 18, 1990; however, during April 1992, the NPRC added some minor but additional code interpretations to the translation table. Notes: The extract information has been interpreted from numerical data and is sometimes not known. Approximately 2.1 million SGO records were not eligible for decoding because they lacked service number identifiers or were written in an indecipherable code.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 28. Surgeon Generals Office (SGO) Extracts, Continued b. SGO Extracts Available to the NPRCNPRC now possesses all SGO extracts that are available from the NRC. The SGO extracts cover the years 1942 to 1945, and 1950 to 1954, and are available for reference purposes. Reference: For more information on the control of and follow-up on record requests, see  HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secI.xml" \l "III.iii.2.I" M21-1, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.I. c. Uses for the Information in the SGO ExtractsSGO extracts provide minimal information are useful primarily in fire-related cases where more detailed STRs are unavailable, and may contain information pertinent to a claim for service connection for a disability. Reference: For more information on alternative sources of records in fire-related cases, see HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secE" \l "III.iii.2.E.26"M21-1MR. Part III, Subpart iii, 2.E.26. d. SGO Extracts of Army Facility Hospital AdmissionsThe SGO extracts of military hospital admission records allegedly reflect 100 percent of the battle injuries treated primarily at Army facilities, as well as a sample of admissions for other reasons. The records cover active duty personnel who served in the Army and Army Air Corps during World War II (WWII), from 1942 to 1945, and the Korean Conflict, from 1950 to 1954.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 28. Surgeon Generals Office (SGO) Extracts, Continued e. Information for Other Service Branches Available in SGO ExtractsThere are no SGO records for services other than the Army and Army Air Corps during WWII. Approximately five percent of the SGO records contain information referring to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and military cadet personnel during the Korean Conflict (1950-1954). A small percentage of the SGO records refer to treatment at Navy, Air Force, and civilian facilities. f. Identification of Information Available in the SGO ExtractsThe extracts are identifiable only by service number since the name of the serviceperson was not made a part of the record. The identification information provided in the SGO extracts includes the service number rank branch of service age race years of service, and station of admission. Note: Use this descriptive information to determine whether the SGO record actually pertains to the claimant.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 28. Surgeon Generals Office (SGO) Extracts, Continued g. Hospitalization Information Available in the SGO ExtractsThe hospitalization information available in the SGO extracts includes up to three diagnoses for the covered hospitalization the part of the body involved and the operative procedure, if needed, for each diagnosis the total number of days hospitalized, and the type of treatment facility. Important: For extracts from 1944 and 1945, information is available concerning the type of case circumstances leading to the hospitalization, and the line-of-duty determination. h. Discharge Information Available in the SGO ExtractsOther information provided in the SGO extracts includes the disposition at discharge, such as duty or death, and the month and year of admission and discharge. 29. Requesting Records from the SGO Extracts  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on requesting records from the SGO extracts, including determining if a search of SGO extracts was conducted in connection with a previous request when to submit a request if a veteran alleges treatment when to submit a supplemental request to NPRC for SGO records when a regional office (RO) will reopen a claim to obtain SGO records action by an RO on SGO extract information, and handling a Not Found entry. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Determining if a Search for SGO Extracts Was Conducted in Connection With a Previous RequestIf NPRC responded to a request for STRs after May 18, 1990, assume that any existing SGO records were included in the response, and no SGO records exist if no SGO records were received in the response, or prior to May 18, 1990, and the veterans service records were considered fire-related, submit a new PIES request using request code M06. Reference: For more information on submitting the SGO request, see the  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/publicat/Users/Pies/PIESparticipantguide.zip" PIES User Guide. b. When to Submit a Request if a Veteran Alleges TreatmentSubmit a request for a search of the SGO extracts if a veteran alleges treatment or hospitalization as early as 1940 or after 1946, and there is a possibility that treatment began before 1942 or extended after 1946. Note: The NPRC will search for any SGO records under the service number provided, regardless of the treatment date claimed.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 29. Requesting Records from the SGO Extracts, Continued c. When to Submit a Supplemental Request to NPRC for SGO RecordsSubmit a supplemental request to the NPRC for SGO records if a favorable decision cannot be made on a pending claim based on the available evidence the NPRC has not responded to a request for medical records since May 18, 1990, and a service number is available for the claimant who alleges a military hospital admission during the periods 1942 through 1946 or 1950 through 1954. d. When an RO Will Reopen a Claim to Obtain SGO RecordsAn RO will reopen the claim on its own initiative to obtain any SGO records for cases encountered during normal processing if benefits were denied prior to May 18, 1990, and the case is one for which SGO records may exist, such as for an Army veteran with service during the periods 1942 through 1945 or 1950 through 1954. e. Action by the RO on SGO Extract InformationIf the NPRC furnishes SGO records, the RO reviews the records and initiates development or award action if there is possible entitlement to the benefit sought, or takes the appropriate end product (EP) and advises the claimant of the continued denial if the review does not change the prior decision.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 29. Requesting Records from the SGO Extracts, Continued f. Handling a Not Found EntryUnder the explanation column of an SGO extract, the entry Not Found indicates that information necessary to interpret the numerical data is not available. If the words Not Found in a category such as diagnosis are critical to a decision, and NPRC responded to a request for medical records before April 1992, send a PIES request to NPRC, using request code M06. Important: If the response does not provide the RO with additional, relevant information, resolve the claim based on the available evidence. Note: Although it is possible that additional information may be obtained that will enable the Not Found entry to be changed, updates on code interpretations are rarely made. If information is gained which may have an impact on service record development, the NPRC will contact VA. Reference: For more information on PIES requests, see  HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secD.xml" \l "III.iii.2.D.21" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.D.21. 30. Sources for Dependents Medical Treatment Records  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on alternative sources for dependents records, including locating dependents records where dependent records are sent requesting dependent records, and the information required from the claimant. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Locating Dependents RecordsMedical treatment records created by service departments for treatment rendered to military dependents may be difficult to locate since the records for dependents follow them from duty station to duty station, and are retired within three years if the dependent doesn't receive treatment for three years, even though the parent or spouse may still be in service in the same duty station.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 30. Sources for Dependents Medical Treatment Records, Continued b. Where Dependent Records are SentDependent records are retired to the NPRC. Records for dependents of any major military service treated at Army and Air Force facilities are sent to address code 75, while Navy and Marine Corps service members treated at Navy or Marine Corps facilities are retired to address code 13. Reference: For more information on service department address codes, see HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secJ.xml" \l "III.iii.2.J.69"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.J.69 through 74. c. Requesting Dependent RecordsRequest medical records referring to treatment of a veterans dependent through PIES, using request code C03 or C04. Request code C03 is used to obtain inpatient treatment records for a veterans dependent Request code C04 is used to obtain outpatient treatment records for a veterans dependent. Note: These records are commonly used when processing a claim for service connection for a pre-existing disability filed by a veteran who was once the dependent of a veteran. d. Information Required From the ClaimantIf treated as an inpatient, the claimant must provide the year(s) of treatment and the full name of the last facility at which treated, and outpatient, the claimant must provide the last year of treatment and the full name of the last facility at which treated. Note: Occasionally, NPRC may request additional information that must be supplied before further searches can be conducted. 31. Alternative Sources for Proof of Service and Character of Discharge Records  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on alternative sources for proof of service and character of discharge records, including reviewing BIRLS for verification of service information determining the reliability of sources and weight of evidence, and alternative means of verifying military service. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Reviewing BIRLS for Verification of Service InformationReview the Beneficiary Identification and Records Locator Subsystem (BIRLS) thoroughly for verification of service information. The vid screen must be reviewed to determine the existence of a VERIFIED record that can provide adequate service verification. Reference: For more information on BIRLS screens, see the HYPERLINK "http://152.124.238.193/bl/21/publicat/Users/Index.htm" \l "bms"Share User Guide and updated information via the application help menu. b. Determining Reliability of Sources and Weight of EvidenceThe RO must determine which sources of alternative records are most reliable and the weight to be given to any evidence acquired.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 31. Alternative Sources for Proof of Service and Character of Discharge Records, Continued c. Alternative Means of Verifying Military ServiceFor alternative sources of records or verification of military service conduct follow-ups with veterans or beneficiaries, requesting another search of their personal effects for a copy of discharge documents or other evidence of military service check with the Social Security Administration (SSA) State unemployment offices State historical commissions the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), if the veteran was employed by a Federal or State agency, or an employer, as a copy of the veterans discharge documents may have been furnished at time of employment the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), if the veteran was employed by the railroad County courthouses, and State Adjutants General offices, and/or check rosters or registers listing veterans who served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean conflict, which are published by several States and also contain complete service data for each veteran. Reference: For more information on the addresses of the State Adjutants General, see HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secK.xml" \l "III.iii.2.K.79"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.K.79. 32. Other Alternative Sources for Service Records  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on other alternative sources for service records, including assisting claimants with alternative sources of records alternative records from a prior claim buddy statements as supporting evidence of combat handling claims with missing records, and obtaining military service academy records. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Assisting Claimants With Alternative Sources of RecordsWhen records required to resolve a claim cannot be secured from the service department addresses shown in HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secJ.xml" \l "III.iii.2.J.69"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.J.69 through 74, assist the claimant in obtaining evidence from alternative sources. Reference: For information on requesting Merchant Marine service records, see  HYPERLINK "pt03_sp03_ch02_secF.xml" \l "III.iii.2.F" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.F. b. Alternative Records From a Prior VA ClaimIf there is any indication the veteran or the veterans beneficiary previously filed a claim for VA benefits, use internal resources to the fullest extent to try to locate the veteran's records, including BIRLS Share, and Control of Veterans Records System (COVERS), and/or other VA records, such as Philadelphia RO and Insurance Center (VAROIC) insurance index files the RO monthly microfilm pay tape Compensation and Pension Record Interchange (CAPRI), and Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VISTA) at the medical center having jurisdiction over the veterans place of residence.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 32. Other Alternative Sources for Service Records, Continued c. Buddy Statements as Supporting Evidence of CombatIf a buddy statement has sufficient credibility, it may serve to establish the combat status of the claimant. This would be a basis to accept a veterans lay statement as evidence of injuries incurred in or aggravated by combat. There must be satisfactory evidence that the buddy served in the same unit at the same time as the claimant to establish the buddy statements credibility. Normally, verification of the buddys service through review of the DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, or other evidence of service would be sufficient to establish the buddy statements credibility. Note: A buddy statement from a corroborated and credible source may be sufficient to establish combat status, but an uncorroborated statement would be insufficient to establish combat status. Failure to furnish verification of the buddys service diminishes the credibility of the statement. Reference: For more information on the authority to accept buddy statements, see  HYPERLINK "http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_304.DOC" 38 CFR 3.304(d). d. Handling Claims With Missing RecordsIf there is any indication that a claim or records related to a claim are missing, VA is obligated to assist the claimant in trying to obtain replacement or alternative records. Notify the claimant of any attempts VA makes to obtain information to support the claim. The following table provides guidance for obtaining secondary information to supplement missing records or claims.  If...Then...a claims folder exists, but the folder is missingprint copies of any running award or pending issue screens and file the prints in a temporary claims folder.a VA employee has knowledge of the content of the missing recordsinclude a full description of the missing records on VA Form 119, Report of Contact, and file it in the claims folder.the claimant has a power of attorney or fiduciarysolicit any information the representative may have about the claim. References: For more information on locating missing claims folders, see HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp02_ch04_secD.xml"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart ii, 4.D permitting the benefit of the doubt when records are missing, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt04_sp02_ch02_secA.xml" \l "IV.ii.2.A.2" M21-1MR, Part IV, Subpart ii, 2.A.2, and searching for claims folders when action mail is pending, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp02_ch04_secB.xml" \l "III.ii.4.B.9" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart ii, 4.B.9.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 32. Other Alternative Sources for Service Records, Continued e. Obtaining Military Service Academy RecordsIf a veteran attended a military service academy, the related service and medical records may not have been included with service records or STRs received through routine requests. The military service academies permanently maintain their student records and those records may have to be requested directly from the respective service academy. Note: Do not confuse private military academies, such as the Citadel or Virginia Military Academy, with Federal military academies. Disabilities incurred as a result of attendance at a private academy would not be related to active military service. The following table lists points of contact to request records from military service academies. Service AcademyPoint of ContactAir Force AcademyHQs USAFA/DFRR 2354 Fairchild Dr Suite 6D 106 USAF Academy, CO 80840-6210Naval AcademyOffice of the Registrar US Naval Academy 589 McNair Rd Annapolis, MD 21402-5031United States Military AcademyUnited States Military Academy Office of the Dean Attn: Graduate Records West Point, NY 10996-5000Coast Guard AcademyRegistrars Office 15 Mohegan Ave New London, CT 06320-4195 Important: Use a locally created letter, citing the inclusive dates of the veterans attendance at the academy, in addition to identifying information about the veteran. The letter should include a request all available records, including academic, counseling, military personnel and medical records. Otherwise the academy may only furnish academic records.  33. Verifying Republic of Vietnam (RVN) Service in Connection With Claims Involving Herbicide Exposure  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on verifying Republic of Vietnam (RVN) service in connection with claims involving herbicide exposure, including when to verify service in RVN review personnel records for proof of service in RVN, and verifying service on a ship offshore from RVN. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. When to Verify Service in RVNIt may be necessary to determine if a veteran had service in Vietnam in connection with claims based on exposure to herbicide agents. A veteran must have actually served in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) to qualify for the presumption of exposure to herbicides under  HYPERLINK "http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_307.DOC" 38 CFR 3.307(a)(6). Reference: For more information on verifying exposure to herbicides in locations other than RVN or along the DMZ in Korea, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt04_sp02_ch02_secC.xml" \l "IV.ii.2.C.10.n" M21-1MR, Part IV, Subpart ii, 2.C.10.n. b. Review Personnel Records for Proof of Service in RVNTo verify service in the RVN, review the veteran's DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, to determine if appropriate service, such as Foreign Service: Republic of Vietnam, is shown. If appropriate service is not documented, obtain and review the veteran's other personnel records (e.g., Department of the Army Form 20 or equivalent) under HYPERLINK "http://www.va.gov/ogc/docs/PRC07-93.DOC"VAOPGCPREC 7-93. Important: The fact that a veteran has been awarded the Vietnam Service Medal does not prove that he/she was "in country since service members who were stationed on ships offshore or who flew missions over the RVN, but never set foot in-country, were sometimes awarded the Vietnam Service Medal.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 33. Verifying Republic of Vietnam (RVN) Service in Connection With Claims Involving Herbicide Exposure, Continued c. Verifying Service on a Ship Offshore From RVNIf a veteran claims service connection for a disability related to exposure to herbicide agents, and alleges service on a ship in the waters offshore of the RVN, submit a PIES request for verification of this fact, using request code O34. Once a response is received review the available records for evidence that the ship on which the veteran served was in the waters off the RVN and that the veterans service involved duty or visitation on land. If the veteran cannot produce the necessary evidence and the service department has been unable to provide verification that the veteran went ashore, request verification from the U.S. Army and Joint Services Records Research Center (JSRRC) through the PIES/Defense Personnel Records Image Retrieval System (DPRIS) interface, using request code O43. The following information is required in order to submit a request: name and number of the ship, such as USS Galveston (CLG 3), and dates during which the ship was in the waters offshore of Vietnam. Note: Code O43 only generates a request for records pertaining to Navy veterans. Send hard-copy requests to JSRRC for other branches of service. The address is listed in  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp03_ch02_secK.xml" \l "III.iii.2.K.76.t" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iii, 2.K.76.t. Important: The Veterans Service Center Manager conference call of February, 2009, offered guidance that if there is evidence of a ship having docked in Vietnam, and evidence that the claimant was stationed aboard the ship at that time, the claimants statement that he or she went ashore from that ship may be accepted as evidence of presumptive exposure to herbicides. 34. Verifying Philippine Service  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on verifying Philippine service, including determining the exact type of service verifying regular and Special Scout service, and verifying Commonwealth Army of the Philippines and guerrilla service. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Determining Exact Type of ServiceIn cases involving Philippine service, it is essential to determine the exact type of service performed to determine what benefits, if any, the claimant is entitled to receive. Many veterans with only Philippine service claim that they served in the United States Army. However, there are basically the following four types of Philippine service: Regular Philippine Scouts and Insular Forces of the U.S. Navy Special Philippine Scouts Commonwealth Army of the Philippines inducted into the Armed Forces of the United States, and guerrilla groups. Reference: For more information on each type of Philippine service, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp06_ch04_secB.xml" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart vi, 4.B.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 34. Verifying Philippine Service, Continued b. Verifying Regular and Special Scout ServiceNPRC verifies service and provides STRs for both Regular and Special Philippine Scouts. Scouts were provided discharge certificates similar to those issued to members of regular components of the U.S. Armed Forces, and assigned service numbers in the 10,000,000 to 10,999,999 or 30,000,000 to 30,999,999 range, which is indicative of an overseas enlistment. PIES Requests: Use PIES request code S01 when requesting verification of service in the Philippine Scouts from NPRC, and the Army branch of service tab. c. Verifying Commonwealth Army of the Philippines and Guerrilla ServiceNPRC verifies service and provides STRs for Commonwealth Army of the Philippines veterans and guerrillas. Neither of these groups was provided with reports of separation or discharges like those provided to veterans who served in regular components of the U.S. Armed Forces. However, the Commonwealth Army of the Philippines assigned service numbers that normally contain six digits. Many guerrillas do not have a service number. Evidence used to support a claim is usually in the form of a statement from the Armed Forces of the Philippines or the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office. PIES Request: Use PIES request code O23 when requesting verification of guerrilla service or service in the Commonwealth Army of the Philippines, and the Army branch of service tab. 35. Other Claims Requiring Verification  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on other claims requiring verification, including verifying covert or classified service eligibility for death benefits insanity service of affiants information through morning reports, and other information, and available morning reports. Change DateAugust 13, 2009 a. Verifying Covert or Classified ServiceIf a claimant alleges, at any point, that disability or death occurred on active duty during classified or covert operations, request the veterans personnel records (PIES request code 019) in addition to medical records. If the personnel and medical records considered together do not provide a reasonable basis for an award or denial of service connection advise the claimant that VA has secured all available service records and invite the claimant to submit any additional evidence in his/her possession that might support the claim, and suggest possible alternative sources for the claimant to substantiate his/her claim, such as statements from members of the unit contemporaneous letters home, and contemporaneous statements to a physician. If no additional evidence is forthcoming, adjudicate the claim based on the evidence of record. Important: VA does not have access to records that are still classified, even if they are relevant to a pending claim for disability or death benefits.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 35. Other Claims Requiring Verification, Continued b. Verifying Eligibility for Death BenefitsIf death occurs in service, and was not in the line of duty or was not due to willful misconduct, death benefits may be payable, provided the serviceperson completed at least two years of honorable active service, one day of which was wartime service, prior to death. Request verification of two years of honorable service, using request code 099, if a claim for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) is received, and it has been determined that death was not in the line of duty or was not the result of willful misconduct any prior period of service, if not already of record, using PIES request code S01, to determine if qualifying service existed prior to the servicepersons final enlistment. Note: In the free-text section of the PIES request (request code 099 only), enter the statement: Please verify two years honorable active service on enlistment prior to death. Reference: For more information on willful misconduct determinations, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp05_ch01_secD.xml" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart v, 1.D, and  HYPERLINK "http://www.warms.vba.va.gov/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_1.DOC" 38 CFR 3.1(d). c. Verifying InsanityIf insanity is an issue under  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt03_sp05_ch01_secE.xml" \l "III.v.1.E.20" M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart v, 1.E.20, take action to obtain any of the following records that may be pertinent: all STRs, and complete transcripts of any court-martial or board proceedings. Note: Use the PIES request code O99 and, in the free-text section, enter the statement, The issue of insanity has been raised.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 35. Other Claims Requiring Verification, Continued d. Verifying Service of AffiantsIf it is necessary to verify the evidence of an affiant who alleges personal knowledge of certain occurrences while in service with the veteran, submit the PIES request as follows: on page one of the 3101 screen, enter the original veterans information on page two of the 3101 screen, enter the affiants name and service information, and using request code O99, enter the following statement in the free-text section: Do the records of the department indicate that (name of affiant), (rank, organization and service number, if available), was present with his or her organization at or near (place) on or about (date)? Do the records of (name of hospital, vessel, dressing station, etc.) indicate that (name of veteran) (rank and organization) was receiving treatment for (disease or injury) on or about (date)? e. Verifying Information Through Morning ReportsIf it is asserted that the veterans name was carried on the organization morning reports, but the service department does not have any information as to the disease or injury alleged, make a request for this specific information using PIES request code O20. On the request, show the approximate dates (limited to a maximum of three months) and the name of the organization, such as a company, battalion, detachment, or vessel, sufficient to enable NPRC to search sick logs sick and morning reports, and organization, hospital, infirmary and other records. Note: If morning reports are obtained to support a claim for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the U.S. Army and Joint Services Records Research Center (JSRRC) does not have to verify the information from the morning reports if the RO can corroborate the claimed stressor by a local review of those morning reports. Reference: For more information on when to request stressor corroboration through JSRRC, see  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/M21-1MR/index.asp?id=pt04_sp02_ch01_secD.xml" \l "IV.ii.1.D.15.a" M21-1MR, Part IV, Subpart ii, 1.D.15.a.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 35.
