We updated version 2 of the Benefits Claims API to improve the supporting documents returned by the GET /veterans/{veteranId}/claims/{id} endpoint.

**What’s new?**

The endpoint now filters supporting documents to return only those submitted by the Veteran or claimant. Previously, the `supportingDocuments` field could include documents created by VA systems, such as items identified by the Benefits Documents API.

With this update, VA-generated documents are no longer included in the response. This presents a clearer view of evidence provided by the claimant and helps avoid confusion when reviewing a claim’s supporting documentation.

To learn more, review the [Benefits Claims API documentation](https://developer.va.gov/explore/api/benefits-claims/docs?version=current).
