Win Denials with a Laser-Focused Supplemental Claim (VA Form 20-0995)

| Discuss on Reddit

Stop re-filing—hit back with a targeted Supplemental Claim today. Pull your last decision letter, find the "Reasons for Decision," pick one gap the rater flagged, and upload one piece of new and relevant evidence that closes it using VA Form 20-0995 on VA.gov. Label your upload clearly (e.g., "2019-2025 ortho records—shows chronicity") and in the claim notes tell the rater exactly where to look. File within one year to preserve your effective date; if unsure about timing or form, check VA.gov. One precise hit beats a document dump.
