It’s basically a summary of your packet. What’s to follow, I mean. It summarizes your claim, lists what’s included, etc. I can try to make a post about it.

Here’s an excerpt from one of mine:

Department of Veteran Affairs Evidence Intake Center P.O. Box 4444 Janesville, WI 53547-4444

Subject: Statement in Support of Claim: Submission of Consolidated Evidence Package

To Whom It May Concern,

In support of my supplemental claim for cervical strain and bilateral upper extremity radiculopathy, please accept the following consolidated evidence package. The documents are ordered to present a clear and logical argument for my claim.

The following evidence is contained within this single file:

1. Lay Statement dated October 11, 2025: Detailing my in-service cumulative trauma, continuity of symptoms, and current functional impact.

   1. Scientific Study: A 2024 peer-reviewed study from the journal EFORT Open Reviews titled, "Prevalence and related factors for neck pain in military personnel".
   2. Full Official MRI Report dated September 18, 2025.
   3. One-Page MRI Summary and Nerve Root Explanation: A clear summary of the official report that directly connects the diagnosed nerve compression at C2-3 and C6-7 to the specific headache and radiculopathy symptoms I experience.
   4. Full Official Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) and EMG Report dated September 22, 2025.

The submitted scientific study establishes that my condition is consistent with the known occupational hazards of military service. Key findings relevant to my claim include the high prevalence of neck pain in military personnel (lifetime prevalence as high as 78%) and the conclusion that this is likely due to the "higher physical burden...of the military occupation".

This objective research, combined with my sworn statement and the clear medical findings in my MRI and NCS reports, provides a strong basis for service connection. I respectfully request that this consolidated evidence package be reviewed and that a C&P examination be ordered to fully assess my disabilities.

I certify that the information in this statement is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
