I came across an interesting situation not long ago. It seems that two records have vanished from a veterans "C" file, after quietly residing there for over forty years. Since the records involve a denial, (Which may very well be "CUE"able) I'm not too surprised. I guess the question is really what non "C" file records of denials are kept by the VA, and how might they be asked for. Without the "C" file records, the veteran has only a rough idea of when the denial actually occurred. Complicating the problem is that the veteran's "C" file is at one VARO, and the denial was made by another VARO.
Other little oddities seem to be involved, such as the denial was sent to an old veterans address, instead of the then current address the VA had on file. The VA was sending benefit checks to the veteran's correct address at the time.
