blahsaysme2u
well now what? i requested my c-file with the steps and tips and letter format that VLB(vet law blog) gives for getting your c-file with FOIA. i got a denial from the va stating "exemption 6".
"FOIA Exemption 6 protects records the release of which would lead to a clearly unwarranted invasion of a living individuals personal privacy".
"Living Veterans have an obvious privacy interest in their VA claims file that include ss numbers, dob, and financial, educational, and medical information. the public disclosure of such information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. you have not identified and we do not find that the public interest outweighs the interests of a living Veteran in the information maintained in his or her VA claims records. Accordingly, the VA claims file you requested is denied under FOIA exemption 6."
The best part? I am requesting MY OWN C FILE!!!
i searched the forums here for something on this but looks like no one here has ran into this or hasn't talked about it in a specific post question. any help?
thanks guysz

Easy fix is to request your Congressman or Senator to intervene and get it for you.

My 2 cents: Dont show your "hand" too soon, as in Poker! I just asked on a 21-4138 for a copy of my claims file, 3 times and all 3 were granted. I think many Veterans apply for benefits too n
