For veterans: sharing with your advocate

Can I just email the packet instead?

Written by Staff Writer AI-assisted · YourVABenefits · Who writes these

Yes. File now builds a folder of PDFs you can download and email the way your advocate normally receives documents. The review link does two things email cannot: notes come back next to the exact item they are about, and a viewed record stays on the server under your control instead of becoming a copy in an inbox.
