I would have / help him request a copy using a 21-4138

http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-4138-ARE.pdf

OR

Have / help him call the 800 - dont know much number

and request a copy be mailed to him.

Then I'd contact the 800 # again about a week later to verify

the request is of record.

Carlie has it spot on, as usual. You "might" be able to get one quicker from your VSO, underline the term "might".

I think if I were you I would have this veteran request a copy of his C file from V.A.

Thanks

yes we have already requested his letter via Carlie advice & got the Award letter.

and working preparing an NOD... C-file requested just waiting on C-file

Thanks!!

The problem is VA never gives a veteran a complete copy of his/her rating decision unless he/she ask for it. A complete copy of a rating decision has a legend sheet that must be requested. When the veteran request a copy of his complete C-File, look at the very last page of the decision letter. It should list all of the veterans service connected and non service connected disabilities and the date claimed

Question pete 992

When a veteran gets denied for a tinnitus claim filed in 99 and never files a NOD or any other type of claim to disagree with his claim and say 5 years passed and veteran refiles for the same disability and is still denied, and then in 2- 2014 veteran gets a DAV VSO to reopen the claim (dating back to 99,& but is awarded in 2-15 should the veteran be paid retro back to his intimal claim for tinnitus in 99? or from the 2-14

.......Thanks
