The C-File Analyzer

The VA has thousands of pages on you. Nobody has read them.

Upload your C-File and we read every page — service treatment records, exam results, past decisions — and hand back the conditions, connections and presumptive exposures hiding inside it. Each finding cited to the page it came from.

What a C-File actually is

Your entire service, in a box nobody hands you.

Every sick call, every exam, every rating decision the VA has ever made about you — scanned out of order, in mixed handwriting, with no index. Reading it end to end is a week of work most veterans never do.

That’s exactly where claims get lost: the evidence you needed was already in the file.

  • Service records
  • Medical exams
  • Decisions & rating sheets
  • Pages you've never seen
What the analyzer finds

Four things buried in almost every file.

Not a summary. A list of specific, claimable findings — each one traced back to the exact page of your record. Veterans typically surface 15+ claimable items.

  • +2

    Conditions you never claimed

    Documented in service, never filed. We surface every diagnosis and complaint in the record and flag the ones that are claimable today.

  • SERVICE CONNECTEDTinnitusDepression

    Secondary connections

    Tinnitus to depression. Back injury to hips and knees. Sleep apnea to rhinitis. The chains that turn one rating into several.

  • DEPLOYMENTBalad ’07Burn pits

    Presumptive exposures

    Your deployments and duty stations, matched against the PACT Act and Agent Orange presumptive lists — the conditions you don't have to prove a nexus for.

    • Missing: nexus opinion
    • Missing: buddy statement
    • Missing: current severity

    The evidence gaps

    What's still missing before you file — and, honestly, when the evidence for a condition simply isn't there yet.

How it works

Three steps. Most of it is waiting.

Don’t have your C-File yet? We’ll show you exactly how to request it from the VA — it’s free, though the VA itself can take months to send it. Everything else in the toolkit works while you wait.

“Had been sitting at 30% for almost a decade because I didn't think I could claim anything else. I used VeteranAI to identify secondary conditions I didn't even realize were connected. Filed for three secondaries with nexus letters generated through the platform and was granted all three. 30% to 80% just like that.”

Straight answers

A C-File (Claims File) is the complete record the VA maintains on your disability claims. It includes your service treatment records, VA medical records, exam results, decision letters, and all evidence submitted for your claims. It can be hundreds or thousands of pages long.

Submit VA Form 20-10206 (Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act Request) and check the CLAIMS FILE (C-FILE) box in Section III. You can send it through VA.gov, by fax, or by mail to the Evidence Intake Center. Plan on three to six months. Our step-by-step guide at veteranai.co/how-to-get-your-c-file walks the form box by box.

Veterans typically discover 15+ claimable items in their C-File analysis. This includes primary conditions they didn't know were documented, secondary conditions linked to existing ratings, and evidence supporting rating increases for current claims.

Secondary conditions are disabilities caused or aggravated by a service-connected condition. For example, if you have service-connected knee pain that changes your gait, you may develop hip or back problems as secondary conditions. These are often overlooked but can significantly increase your total rating.

Most C-File analyses complete within 24-48 hours, depending on the size of your file. Larger files with thousands of pages may take slightly longer. You'll receive a notification when your analysis is ready.

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data. Your C-File is only used to generate your analysis and is not shared with third parties. You can delete your data at any time from your account.
