While I was reviewing the copy of my C-File the VA sent me, I discovered that documents belonging to another veteran named "xxxx x. xxxxxxx" along with his Social Security Number xxx-xx-xxxx were mixed in with my documents. My documents and Mr. xxxxxxx's are both from the same regional office. I called the VA's 1-800 number and the counselor told me to send them back to the VA and not shred them.
Naturally, I am concerned that Mr. xxxxxxx's documents may have influenced the VA's actions/decisions on my claims. I am also concerned that the VA employees tasked with assisting to develop or rate my claims are not reviewing my C-file as thoroughly as they should in looking for evidence that supports my claims, otherwise they would have also found Mr. xxxxxxx's documents and removed them.
Everyone should get a copy of their C-file and review it to make sure it isn't contaminated with someone else's documents.
