C File Request

[jalexand]

I just sent a request under FOIA to get a copy of my VA Claim file and got back a letter of acknowledgement for the request in which they state that they will do so but they have included statements like "to inform you of the decision to grant to you access to the requested records if found, and not expempted from disclosure by law". Exactly what records would they be talking about? Nothing in my file that shoudl be "top secret". I don't get this.

jalex,

Sometimes the VA won't release Mental Health records unless they can get an

approval to do so, from the Mental Health provider.

Thanks Carlie, nothing in my records like that, at least not yet (lol).

I covered my answer to your questions somewhere else under a different posting, on the board.

Can't remember where, but, I did.

Yes, Larry, I had posted this basic question somewhere else on the board, but it didn't look like that thread was getting much attention so I reposted it here. I saw your comments.

Thanks

What if they are mental health records I provided to the VA from private hospitals?

Then you should have copies of them. Right?
