Supplemental Claim (VA Form 20-0995)
VA Terminology Definition
Plain English Definition
The form to reopen a denied claim when you have NEW and RELEVANT evidence the VA hasn't seen before.
Why This Matters
If your claim was denied, you can file this form with new evidence to get a new decision. Average processing: ~93 days.
Example
Your PTSD claim was denied because you didn't have a nexus letter. You obtain one from a doctor, then file a Supplemental Claim to reopen.
