This will allow VA to re-adjudicate your claim when presented with new evidence or policy. Learn how to file a Supplemental Claim today. www.va.gov/decision-reviews/supplemental-claim/

Knowing how to apply securely through the VA claims process, where to find VA accredited attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives or verify accreditation before engaging with any individual or company is essential.
