FDC Criteria (Claim(s) for Veterans Disability Compensation and Related Compensation Benefits)
1. Submit your claim on a signed and completed VA Form 21-526EZ, Application for Disability Compensation and Related Compensation Benefits (Attached).
2. Submit simultaneously with your claim:
• All, if any, relevant, private medical treatment records; AND
• An identification of any relevant treatment records available at a Federal facility, such as a VA medical center.
The Fully Developed Claim (FDC) Program is the fastest way to get your claim processed, and there is no risk to participate! Participation in the FDC Program is optional and will not affect the quality of care you receive or the benefits to which you are entitled. If you file a claim in the FDC Program and it is determined that other records exist and VA needs the records to decide your claim, then VA will simply remove the claim from the FDC Program (Optional Expedited Process) and process it in the Standard Claim Process. See below for more information. If you wish to file your claim in the FDC Program, see FDC Program (Optional Expedited Process). If you wish to file your claim under the process in which VA traditionally processes claims, see Standard Claim Process.
