0 FormerMember Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I asked to view my c-file at what was then a DRO hearing of sorts back in 1991. I read it during the hearing. I requested a copy in 2009 after I filed for P&T and received it in 3 weeks. After the CAVC win in 2013, I asked for a new one. By then, it had mushroomed out to 10,078 pages and those five boxes. It took a while to get it. I think over 14 months. I've filed several more CAVC ex Writs since then so it's probably over 12,000 pages by now. Hell, the VR&E (left flap) is over 2,000 pages alone because of the greenhouse appeal. I'm just finishing up my paperwork to do the online access. They run a Criminal background check on you (again). They do one when you file to become an agent so it's rather redundant. Ben Krause of DisabledVets.org just went to the Fed. Circus for oral arguments on them forcing us to get alex.graham@va.gov style email addresses so they can monitor what we do. It's a whole new world of computer stuff now. Take your protein pill and put your helmet on, cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted January 3, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I wish you the best with all that Alex and you help a lot of needed veterans. if you get a alexgraham@va.gov..then you have all access to VBMS? as for as YOUR C-file you probably need 2 or 3 CD. ROM Disk eh! I think my was only about 4000 pages. I hope you get to help some lost and forgotten Vietnam Vets Like You and Me and Gastone ,broncovet...& some of the others here on hadit. our generation is the last of the Vietnam vets... However there are still some in there early to mid 70's & still riding their Harley's & kicking Assperolos. It may just be me that thinks this ?I think rather or not a veteran has a claim pending or filing for the first time Its good that All Veterans should request their C-File every 3 Years...just to keep it up-dated because there's no telling what we may find in it. jmo Edited January 3, 2017 by Buck52 I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!!

Writing directly to the Records depository in St. Louis is now the preferred method using a VAF 21-3288. @broncovet Per the above quote from your post on 1/2/2107 are there any 2018 updates to the best/fastest process to get my c-file? As I understand things, I should FAX the VAF-21-3288 to some number in St. Louis? I will go look at your website, but google searches right now only turn up VA Form 3288 not 21-3288 and I want to make sure I have the right form and the right number to fax to.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted August 20, 2018 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 20, 2018 kanewnut Not that I know of. I've always had to request my C-File from my R.O. now I think you request it from the Dept of Veterans Affairs Claims Intake Center in Janesville Wi or send in a Sighed FOIA form to the NRPC in St Louis ,Mo, for your completed up dated C-File which is now in the VBMS and on a CD.

0 Guest L Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 also look up the reference for FOIA - and how they must supply it in a timely manner - I attached it to my form and got my C-file quickly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess folks here need an update for 2017 on c-files. Here's the latest. Attorneys and agents can sign up for access to the c-files on line using VBMS. I do not know about NSOs as I am not one and ha
