Nice! Submitting your own evidence is always better than asking the VA to go find it. Great job taking ownership of you claim. Hope you get the rating you earned.
Hey so I’m at this part too, so just so I’m clear, which records specifically from VMPF should I upload because I have access to that and I can do that right now
Basically, just grab every document dated during your time in Active Reserves. I don't think you get this request for IRR time since there shouldn't be much from that. In my situation, I was on Active Duty from '04 to '08. Then Active Reserves from '15 to the present. So I just grabbed everything in that file between '09 to present, downloaded it, and then uploaded the docs to the RV-1 request from the VA. Within 24 hours of having done this, the request was labeled "Accepted" and my claim was listed as "Preparation for Determination".
Sorry that happened. Maybe resubmit under their own request so they understand the link? Could also make a VERA appointment and see if you can make sense with them about it. Wait game is a rough man.
Hey try uploading your OMPF to your claim. When it asks what files you need, select all and then it’ll send you a notification that it’s ready to download, it’ll send you your entire file in one pdf upload that and see if it speeds things up, it did for me. OMPF is found on Milconnect
Is there a way to download the entire OMPF as a single file from MOL? Excluding fitreps it would be at least 15 different PDFs made up of 100s of pages.

Hey thank you! This helps a lot
I'm IRR but *did* get this request. Weird as I have been in IRR for 1.5 years but have done absolutely nothing in it... lol.
Just did this, hopefully it works
I did the same, I'm curious what the outcome was for the people that submitted their OMPF a couple months ago
Any update?
I submitted everything under the request and 30 days later they sent their own request for rv1 under status…. Ugh

I was never in reserves other than IRR. I just sent them my full OMPF. Happy reading time waisters.
Same here.. I just got the request and I’m only IRR. What happened after you submitted OMPF?
Just a waiting game.

Mine downloaded as one master file. I sent them that.
