FAQ
If you have new evidence to support your previously denied claim, you should send a written request to your VA regional office to have your claim reopened. Include the new supporting evidence (or information telling VA where the evidence can be obtained).
Use this Supplemental Claim form (VA 20-0995) if you disagree with our decision on your claim and you meet at least 1 of these requirements: You have new and relevant evidence to submit, or. You would like VA to review your claim based on a new law (such as the PACT Act).
If your benefit claim was denied and was not appealed before the time limit expired, your case can be reopened if there is new evidence available that could change the VA's decision.
Yes, you can cancel your VA claim. To cancel a VA claim, you must submit a request to the VA that includes your name, claim number, and a clear statement expressing your intention to withdraw the claim.
If your claim has been denied, don't be discouraged. You have the right to appeal, and many veterans successfully overturn their denials by providing additional evidence or clarifying their case.
The reality is that there is no absolute number of times you can appeal. The first step of an appeal is to choose one of three types of appeal. The three review options are Supplemental Claim, Higher-Level Review, or Board Appeal.
Under 38 C.F.R. 3.957 in the VA code of regulations, the VA cannot sever your benefits for service connected disability if it's been in effect for 10 or more years. The only exceptions would be if you obtained VA disability benefits fraudulently, were dishonorably discharged, or didn't complete requisite service.
Keep in mind that while "identifying an error" can sound concerning, it's an error made by the VA, not the veteran, so having the VA identify and fix their mistake is typically a positive development.
You can cancel. My only suggestion is to not cancel a claim on a condition that may cause death due to DIC eligibility for your spouse or a possible homebound rating.
To get a claim re-opened you must present evidence that is new and material. If the evidence did not exist before then it is “new”. But the evidence must also be “material”.
