2. Which types of textual evidence can be used to support claims? What are each of the four types, including statistics and quotes from a reliable expert. Choose one to describe in more detail. Your answer should be 3 to 4 sentences long.

Explanation:

A claim refers to a debatable argument that states a fact that is not merely a personal opinion. The primary focus of an author’s claim is supporting and proving the main idea. You will be making a claim by arguing to prove your position.

A well written claim statement will keep your readers interested. It creates questions in the minds of the reader and they will likely get the answers in your essay. A number of arguments support your main idea and the reader will find some to be acceptable while others are not. However, all of them work towards the fulfillment of the reader’s expectation.

2.One of the major aspects of developing a disability claim with the VA is gathering and submitting relevant evidence to help support it.  The VA has what is called a duty to assist, however, it can be extremely beneficial to also gather your own evidence during the claims process.  By submitting various forms of evidence, you provide the VA with more information and different angles for them to view your case.  The type of evidence you should consider submitting will depend greatly on the disabilities that you are experiencing and at what step of the process you are at.

Types of Evidence

Service Records/Service Medical Records

When trying to initially get your claim service connected, you have to show an in-service event that led to your disability.  The easiest way to prove this in-service event is with your service records and medical records, if the event is documented.  Whether it is a physical injury, or a mental one, having it documented in your service records can be a huge stress reliever when it comes to managing your VA claim.  If the in-service event is not documented in your service record, don’t give up on your claim!  There are other pieces of evidence that can be used to help prove your claim.

Service records can also be beneficial when you need to prove you were in a certain location during a specific time period.  For example, for the VA’s presumptive illnesses, you may need to show that you were in Vietnam or Thailand between 1962 and 1975, or that you were stationed at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, or even possibly that you served in the Southwest Asia Theater during the Gulf War.  Your service record should contain any documents that show what units you were assigned to and the location of each.  These documents can include, but are not limited to, orders, travel vouchers, re-enlistment paperwork, and awards.
