VBA records requests

[SgtKidJoe]

I filed a Claim in Aug 7, 2022 for multiple issues. I've been thru 8 separate C&P's, yet I could not find a copy of the C&P's this this claim or any other. I made a special trip to the Hampton VA records and requested any 3rd party (LHI, QTC, etc) and related imaging so I could review it. I was told to contact the VBA and possibly a VSA. Has anyone else gotten a copy of their C&P's? If so how?

Thanks

You have to request them, usually, from the vendors . A VSO has access to VBMS, also, so they can do it if you know  what date range you are looking for.

If your C & P exams were contracted out like (LHI, QTC, etc.,) you are going to have to contact the VA Regional Office and request a copy through their privacy freedom of information act. The VA is going to make you fill out a form to get a copy of your records and I hate to say it, the VA most likely will not forward you a copy until after they make their decision. If you have a VA.gov account, you can request them there. Just look on the right-hand side of the screen and it should ask if you want a copy of your C & P exams. You are going to have to follow the steps to check the status of your claim and you will come to this.

Want a copy of your claim exam?

You can obtain a copy of your claim exam (also known as a compensation and pension, or C&P, exam) by contacting your nearest regional office.

Did the FOIA today and faxed the request it. 

Thank you to those that replied.

As a follow-up, I received my CD yesterday. It doesn't come as any surprise that it contained another vet's PII and their request.

This has to be the most valuable piece of information that I’ve found…thank for sharing!
