What if I choose to present new evidence?

In writing To support you claim, you may send documents and written statements to the VA at the address on the top of the VA letter.  Tell the VA in a letter how these documents and statements should change the VA’s decision.

At a personal hearing You may request a local hearing with the VA at any time.  This hearing is separate from any Board hearing you might ask for later if you appeal.  The VA does not require you to have one.  It is your choice.  At this hearing, you may speak, bring witnesses to speak on your behalf, and hand the VA written evidence.  If you want a hearing, send the VA a letter asking for a hearing.  Use the address at the top of the VA letter.  The VA will then:
* arrange a time and place for the hearing
* provide a room for the hearing
* Assign someone to hear your evidence
* Make a written record of the hearing.
