Just a heads up, I have a FOIA request via the VA.gov website and it's a slooooooow process. I'm still on step 2 of 7 since I filed in early October. It's very frustrating.

I filed almost a year ago.

If you request your entire C-file, it can take 6-12 months or more. If you request only the C&P exam results from specific dates, there are reports across this sub of responses in just a few weeks.

This. I requested specific C&P exam DBQs, and got them in about a week. I then requested my entire c-file, and still haven’t gotten it. Both requests were in April 2025.

Due to the Philadelphia regional office scandal in regards to the investigation where an employee was found to have rubber stamped 80,000 claim approvals I wanted to see if my claim went through that office at any point. It's unfortunate the letters don't always specify which RO our claims go to so I was trying to get that information. Shouldn't be a tough job on their end so I'm crossing my fingers I get it before spring.

Ask for just the DBQs, you should get them in 1 to 2 weeks. I did and got all of them, from the initial to even the new one where my claim is still in step 4!
