🔴 Is a VA Reexam Coming for You? One Page in Your File Already Knows

The VA keeps a complete file on every veteran who's ever filed a claim — and inside it sits a one-page internal document they never mail you. The rating CODE SHEET decodes your entire rating: every diagnostic code, every percentage, your effective dates — and one quiet field that says whether a re-examination is coming for you. That file is yours by law, essentially free, and one form gets it. Here's what's inside, the 5 things to check the day it arrives, the request that gets you EVERYTHING, and the instant shortcut while you wait. We follow Walt requesting his. WHAT'S IN YOUR C-FILE Every application, every C&P exam report (what the examiner actually wrote), all the medical evidence, service treatment records, every denial with the VA's reasoning, and the internal rating worksheets — including the code sheet. THE CODE SHEET — THE PAGE THEY NEVER MAIL Each condition's diagnostic code + %, the combined evaluation, effective dates, P&T/SMC markers, and the FUTURE EXAM DATE field: blank/"none" = no reexam scheduled; a date = one is coming — never miss it. HOW TO GET IT — FREE VA Form 20-10206 (FOIA/Privacy Act). The wording that matters: "I request my complete VA claims file, to include all C&P exams and rating code sheets." Submit via QuickSubmit, fax, or mail. First 100 pages free by law — NEVER pay anyone for your own file. Honest timeline: ~12–18 weeks. Today: download decision letters instantly on VA.gov; a VSO can review much of the file with you free. THE 5 CHECKS WHEN IT ARRIVES 1) Every code & percentage 2) The FUTURE EXAM field 3) Effective dates (back-pay errors hide here) 4) The C&P exam reports 5) What's missing.
