Filing a supplemental claim

[scooter318]

Hi Everyone

I want to file a supplemental claim but I was told that I have to fill out form 20-0995 and fax it to the office that sent me my denial letter. But I also wanted to know when I fax in the form do I also fax in the IMO the lay statement and the case law that I have as new evidence in support of my claim.

it would be faster if you just upload it through ebenefits. Claims are worked based on a national queue, that keeps them moving so they can get worked by anyone not busy. Just upload the whole thing- or send it to Janesville- thats the central document scanning. Send everything you have, don't piecemeal it. 

844-531-7818 is their fax number. If you upload it, though, it converts to PDF and goes straight to your Efolder.

Now that's another question that I have also, when I log into VA.gov what is the process to start a supplemental claim. The law firm that I'm working with told me that they would submit it for me but that was last Monday, when I called this morning  they told me  no supplemental has been submitted so I'm just going to do it myself.

Start a new claim and it will ask you if you are doing a new claim or a supplemental while you go through the pre-set up questions.
