How do I disconnect VA.gov or stop sharing my records?

At any time, in your portal account settings or at VA.gov (Profile, then Connected apps). Disconnecting takes effect immediately: we can retrieve nothing further, and the access VA gave us is deleted.

Information already in your file stays so that your provider's work remains complete. Ask us to delete it and we will, except for the parts of a medical record a provider has already relied on, which the law requires us to keep for its retention period.
