C-file

I see where the veteran is allowed to get one copy of their C-file. If you get a copy - and then new evidence is submitted - can you also request copis of the updated info?

Yes, anything in one's C-file that hasn't been requested before can be obtained free of charge. When requesting this info, just make sure you tell them you're requesting a copy of everything in your C-file since your last request.

GuaymasJim,

Your C-file is located at your local regional office. To request a copy of it, just write the RO a letter asking for a complete copy of the C-file. I have always cited the 1974 Privacy Act when doing so, but it is not required. Generally, after a few weeks you'll receive it in the mail.

A few weeks would be wonderful. My husband requested his copy last August. He got a form letter ever couple of months telling him they were "working on it." The RO told me it takes about 6 months to get a copy from Chicago.
