Building a claim

How do I get my medical records in?

Sign in to VA.gov or My HealtheVet, download your VA Blue Button report as a text or PDF file, then add it in the claim workspace. Our agent researches it and identifies every condition it can support. Your claims file (C-file) is a separate request to VA; add it later and the list is updated.
