File a VA Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs · Shared Oregon or applicable federal route
Request review of a prior claim using qualifying new evidence or an applicable change in law.
Where and how to proceed: prepare, file and follow up
Start here: Review the decision and confirm that a Supplemental Claim fits the issue rather than an increased-rating claim or another review route.
1. Is this for me?
People with a qualifying previously decided VA claim and new/relevant evidence, or an applicable law-change basis; contested claims use different rules.
Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
- Review the decision and confirm that a Supplemental Claim fits the issue rather than an increased-rating claim or another review route.
- Gather new and relevant evidence, or identify records you want VA to obtain and the applicable law-change basis.
- Use the online route for eligible disability compensation claims or current VA Form 20-0995 for the benefit-specific submission route.
- Keep proof of filing, complete any required medical authorization and respond to further VA requests.
Timing: A Supplemental Claim may be filed after the usual review period, but timing can affect the effective date and continuous pursuit. Check the decision and obtain advice before the one-year anniversary.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
Fees and fee-waiver eligibility have not been separately verified for this route. Check the current provider instructions. For a court filing, ask the court about its fee-waiver or deferral forms.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
Not every review can be requested simultaneously for the same issue. A worsening rated condition generally uses an increased-compensation claim instead.
