Did the VA change the website?

Yes, the VA has changed its website and the location of this critical document; the official letter listing all your service-connected disabilities is now generated as a **VA Benefit Summary Letter** through the VA.gov or the VA mobile app. To obtain the comprehensive letter, you must specifically select the option for "**Service-connected disabilities**" in the letter customization menu, which will then produce a document detailing each condition, its effective date, and your combined evaluation percentage, serving as formal verification under **38 CFR 3.326** regarding the evidence of record. If the generated letter is incomplete or inaccurate, it may indicate a systemic error or a pending claim affecting your master record, and you should immediately request a correction by contacting the VA at 1-800-827-1000 or through a **Request for a Decision Review** (Higher-Level Review or Supplemental Claim) to rectify the file, as established in *Buchanan v. Nicholson*, which holds the VA responsible for maintaining an accurate claims file. Your actionable next steps are: 1) Log into VA.gov, access the "Get your VA benefit letters" tool, and ensure you check ONLY the "Service-connected disabilities" box to generate the correct letter; 2) If the issue persists, download all your **Rating Decisions** (available in the "Claims" section) to cross-reference; and 3) If discrepancies remain, contact a **Veterans Service Organization (VSO)** accredited under **38 CFR 14.628** to help you formally dispute the record and secure a complete *Benefit Summary Letter*, which is the VA's authoritative snapshot of your awarded disabilities.
