Question
rootbeer22
Folks:
The last time I did a FOIA (7 months ago), the entire disability process for me stopped for me at the Regional Office level. So, now I understand that there's only a couple of locations instead of the local RO that a Vet sends a FOIA to now. So, can someone now please educate me the best way or process to request a FOIA to get a digital copy of my entire C-File? I'm starting the process of doing my NOD now for my first claim and want to see what records were used to determine my claim service connections and also the denials.
Anyway, I appreciate your help in advance....Rootbeer22

be careful and dont file a new claim during the process or the C File will be lumped with the new claim as one big claim and you wont get the c file or the decision until both are done.

Actually the VA Records Management Center will be getting the request for the C-File on CD. I filed 5/14/15 and received a letter from them on 7/8/15. The letter says, "we have received your request a
