Question
John Purser
I've decided to pursue my own claim for disability. I'm using this site as my main guide. I've read about the importance of reviewing my "C file" or "VA Claims File". I've got a copy of form VA 3288 but I have a few questions on filling it out.
1) What am I asking for? A "C File"? A "Claims File"? Will they know what I'm talking about?
2) Where do I send this? My local VBA office in Seattle?
3) The specific recommendation said to review my file at the VBA office, make corrections and additions, THEN ask for a copy. I'm starting off with a copy because my disability is back pain which prevents me from sitting up for extended periods. I get about a half hour to an hour at a desk then I'm shot. Is it reasonable to get a copy first, find errors and missing material, and then submit corrections?
Sorry for having to ask such basic questions but I'm not finding the answers readily and mistakes have already cost me a couple of years of disability payments. I can't afford any more ignorance!
Thanks,
John Purser

1. you are asking for a complete copy of everything contained within your cliams file. If you say C-file, they will know what you are talking about. 2. Send it to your local VBA Regional Office.
