The Veterans Administration C-File & You

The C-File (short for Claim File) is all of the evidence that the VA uses to make its decision on how your claim will be rated. So if you disagree with the VA’s determination and file an appeal, you will need to request a copy of your C-File. You should do this as soon as you’ve received your initial determination.
