RBrogen Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone here had requested their C-File via FOIA request and if so how long did it take to get it. I submitted my request March 7, 2019 and have had 2 estimated completion dates go by with no results. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you file a FOIA claim, it showes up in E-Benefits just like any other claim and follows the same status path. Once it's closed, as with a regular claim, a notification of decision ( in this case your c-file record) should be sent to you instead of just a decision letter like you get on a regular claim.

I followed up a couple of weeks later with a call to VA to have them check status and told them I didn't see it on E-Benefits. Shortly after, it appeared. Also, after the legal 20 days of time had passed for the VA to supposedly comply with the FOIA, they say to send a FOIA appeal, which I did but after a couple of months given that I knew the VA would never comply with the 20 days.

I filed the same way. I filed in January, but it was not recorded until March. Here is what it looks like on VA.gov: Find out why we sometimes combine claims.

Question
RBrogen
Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone here had requested their C-File via FOIA request and if so how long did it take to get it. I submitted my request March 7, 2019 and have had 2 estimated completion dates go by with no results.
Thanks in advance!

I filed for mine right after they denied a claim, only to find out that they reopened it after reviewing my records. Oh well, I needed to get a copy anyway. As soon as this claim closes, I will file t

I would bet they do an additional C&P .... it's a strategy to try and get vets to miss an appointment so they can outright deny or get frustrated with the repetitive BS and quit trying.
