Contract exam reports are sometimes scanned into your VHA (Veterans Health Administration) EMR (electronic medical record), which you can access via the Blue Button feature in MyHealtheVet. If the C&P exam report is not in your EMRs, you should ideally be able to find it on eBenefits, but some vets tell me they cannot find exam reports on eBenefits, so I'm not sure. If it's not available via Blue Button or eBenefits, request a copy of your C&P exam report using VA Form 3288 or by writing a letter and sending your request to VBA (Veterans Benefits Administration). If you write a letter, include your full name, Social Security Number, Claim File number (often, but not always, it is the same as your SSN), the address where you want them to mail the records, and sign the letter in ink. Mail or fax the form or letter to one of VBA's two centralized mail processing centers for disability compensation claims--which one depends on where you live--click here to see the chart on the VA website. If you fax your request, wait to receive a confirmation fax from them. The confirmation will be faxed to you immediately after they receive your fax. If you mail your request, do so in a way that gives you proof that it was received, e.g., U.S. Postal Service Signature Confirmation, or a similar service via FedEx or UPS.
