Contact number for Evidence Intake Center in Janesvilles, WI

[Kathleen ZAVADA]

I am looking for a contact number to speak with someone in the Dept of VA Evidence Intake Center in Janesville, WI.  I received a Decision letter 26 January 2019 and noticed in the evidence section that my primary care doctor wasn't contacted for further information/evidence.  I spoke with someone at the VA Resource Office and was told to submit a Reconsideration of Decision letter to the Evidence Intake Center.  I submitted a cover letter, a personal letter and further evidence to support my Reconsideration of Decision.  I called the Resource Office today and was told that nothing is showing on my record.  I was also told that the procedures have changed and I now have to submit a Reconsideration Form.  I am in a wheelchair and it is very difficult for me to get around.  Can you please allow me to contact someone in the Intake Center or at least, tell me if my paperwork was accepted in February 2019.  Thank you for your assistance.

I would think this is a NOD  21-0958 They want you to send  if you disagree with the decision.(within one year of the decision.

The evidence intake center is a distribution center to go paperless and send out your appeal or claim to any of the  R.O.s  through out the country.

Not sure if they take calls directly from veterans. They just collect and scan documents into your file.

I had an issue where the VA said they did not have documents I submitted via ebenefits web site. They told me that if I uploaded anything then it was purged at some point because I had no documents added around the time I did it.

Anytime you send information, we here at Hadit recommend mailing it certified, return receipt so you can have proof that they received it. You can also fax it too, but make sure you get a confirmation page. Never send originals. If you upload the documents on ebenefits, be sure to mail one too (cover your bases).

If you submitted evidence from a non-VA doctor, they should have sent you a letter asking you to fill out a release of information form so they could try and get the evidence directly from the VA. I always fill out the form and send it in at the same time so they don't have to delay processing of my claim.

Their number is 877-294-6380. This is not a fax number. You will be able to speak to a live person.
