Title

VA C-FILE 

Body

Veterans can obtain their C-Files by requesting a copy from their local VA Regional Office. Usually, veterans must submit VA Form 3288, Request for and Consent to Release of Information from Individual Records. It can take many months to receive the C-File back from VA after the request is submitted. The VA Form 3288 is attached to this announcement. Obtaining your VA C-File is a very important initial step in the disability claims process. As mentioned above, the C-File contains service records, service medical records, post-service treatment records, VA correspondence, C&P examinations, VA correspondence, and VA’s legal documents such as decisions and appeals. Essentially, it contains all of the information necessary for VA to decide your claim. Therefore, it is beneficial for veterans to look through their C-Files to ensure all of the information is accurate and accounted for.
