Request C-File

[nukeum]

Hi I am fairly new here and was wondering, i saw in several places where people had requested copies of their c-file how does one go about this (I do not have a VSO, will not have one, been screwed over by everyone i have ever had) I have been going at it alone pretty successfully to this point at present I have a NOD filed since Sept 2013 at the Phoenix VARO requested a DRO review of the file. So i guess mu question is this

1. how do you FOIA your C-File

2. Will it interfere with the NOD i presently have in process? if so I would rather wait then interfere with the NOD'

Thank you

your opinions?

on the letter the records management center sent me stated that

"in your letter, you are requesting the following:

The entire Va Claims folder on file at this office"

I guess i wanted to know is there just ONE C-File and the VARO's get copies of it or are they submitting copies they put in their own to the records management center, etc?

I wanted to make sure there arent docs spread across three state VARO's that im missing.

My request was done by the benefits counselor at my VAMC. He stamped it received on the spot. It is requesting any and all military records and SMRs to include a complete copy of my C-file. So, not sure if that covers the whole kit and kaboodle, but I sure hope it does. And I hope it comes before the end of this year.
