Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question not listed here? Reach out to us
What is a VA decision letter?
A VA decision letter is the official document the VA sends after reviewing your disability claim. It lists every condition you claimed, whether each was granted, denied, or deferred, the rating percentage for granted conditions, and the reasons behind each decision.
How do I get my VA decision letter?
You can access your decision letters through VA.gov, your eBenefits account, or by contacting your regional VA office. Decision letters are typically mailed to you and also available digitally within a few days of a decision.
What does 'deferred' mean on a decision letter?
A deferred condition means the VA needs more information before making a decision. This could mean they're scheduling a C&P exam, requesting additional medical records, or waiting for evidence from another source. Deferred items are not denied — they're still pending.
What should I do if my claim was denied?
You have three options: file a Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence the VA hasn't seen, request a Higher-Level Review if you believe the VA made an error with existing evidence, or appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals. VeteranAI helps you understand which path is best for your situation.
What's the difference between a Supplemental Claim and a Higher-Level Review?
A Supplemental Claim is for submitting new evidence the VA hasn't reviewed — like a new nexus letter, buddy statement, or medical record. A Higher-Level Review asks a senior reviewer to re-examine the same evidence for errors. Choose supplemental when you have new evidence; choose HLR when you believe the original decision was wrong.
How long do I have to appeal a VA decision?
You generally have one year from the date of your decision letter to file a Supplemental Claim or request a Higher-Level Review. For Board appeals, the deadline is also one year. Missing these deadlines can affect your effective date, so it's important to act promptly.
