All requests for information from the VAC should be mailed directly to the Veterans Administration Center. Complete VA form 07-7210 when requesting verification of military service dates, VA claim number, date of birth, and date of death. The instructions for completion of the VA form are found in C. below.

VA form 07-7210 should be mailed to:

Veterans Administration Center

Attn: Administration Section

Ft. Harrison, MT, 59636

Enclose a self-addressed franked envelope with all requests. The original should be mailed and two copies kept in the claims folder. Tickle requests for 10 working days. To follow up, annotate one of the claims folder copies with "second request" and the date written in red at the top of the form and mail it to the VAC.

The VA claim number is very important and every attempt should be made to obtain it. Since July 1, 1973 the Veterans Administration has used the veteran's Social Security number on all new claims.

Forms can be ordered from the VAC, Administration Section. Be sure to indicate the form number and quantity needed.
