Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s new in VCH.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>AI Claims History Timeline<\/h2>\n<p>VCH can now generate a <strong>chronological timeline of a veteran&#8217;s entire claims history<\/strong> directly from their C-File. The timeline captures claims filings, C&amp;P exams, rating decisions, Notices of Disagreement, appeals, BVA decisions, and more \u2014 automatically extracted and sorted by date.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, VCH reads the structure of the C-File vault to pull event dates and document types, then uses AI to dig deeper into rating decisions, BVA decisions, and medical opinions to extract conditions, disability percentages, and effective dates. The result is a complete picture of where a veteran&#8217;s claims have been \u2014 and a useful starting point for understanding where they need to go.<\/p>\n<p>Once generated, the timeline can be <strong>saved as a PDF directly to the case&#8217;s Documents tab<\/strong> with a single click, so it&#8217;s always on hand for your team.<\/p>\n<p>Timeline generation is a $5.00 AI usage charge, billed to your firm&#8217;s daily AI batch alongside other AI analysis jobs.<\/p>\n<p>To generate a timeline, open a C-File, run an AI analysis, and click <strong>Claims History Timeline<\/strong> from the AI report view.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>AI Runs Tab: Permanent History of C-File Analyses<\/h2>\n<p>Previously, completed AI analysis runs were tied to the C-File document view and could be easy to lose track of. Now, every AI analysis run executed on or after June 15th 2026 is <strong>stored permanently<\/strong> on the case and accessible from a dedicated tab.<\/p>\n<p>Open any case and click the new <strong>AI Runs<\/strong> tab. You&#8217;ll see a table of every AI job that has been run against C-Files associated with that case \u2014 including the document analyzed, the run status, and when it was created. Completed runs have a <strong>View Report<\/strong> button that takes you directly back to the full report, so you never have to re-run an analysis just to find a result you already have.<\/p>\n<p>Runs are retained as long as the associated C-File document exists in the system. If you&#8217;ve never run an AI analysis for a case, the tab will walk you through getting started and give you an overview of everything the AI can do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI Report<\/strong> \u2014 gap analysis to surface unclaimed and under-rated benefits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claims History Timeline<\/strong> \u2014 chronological history of claims, appeals, and decisions<\/li>\n<li><strong>Question &amp; Answer<\/strong> \u2014 plain-language Q&amp;A against the C-File with page references<\/li>\n<li><strong>C-File Search<\/strong> \u2014 instant full-text search across the entire C-File<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Form Filling<\/strong> \u2014 automatic pre-fill of standard VA claim forms from C-File data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cases Export<\/h2>\n<p>Admins can now download a full export of every case in their firm \u2014 including all case notes \u2014 as an Excel spreadsheet. Each case gets its own worksheet tab, making it easy to review, share, or archive your caseload outside of VCH.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find the export button in the Admin panel under <strong>Export Cases<\/strong>. Click the button, wait a moment while the file generates, and a <code>.xlsx<\/code> file will download automatically.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New Tutorial: How to Upload a C-File<\/h2>\n<p>All of the AI features above start with getting the veteran&#8217;s C-File into VCH. If you or someone on your team is new to that process, we published a step-by-step tutorial walking through exactly how to do it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vaclaimhelper.com\/blog\/how-to-upload-a-c-file-to-vch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>How to Upload a C-File to VCH &rarr;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As always, if you run into anything or have feedback, reach out through the support chat inside VCH.
