Deformed VCF header and VEP

I am using VEP to annotate VCF files. One VCF file has a deformed header that does not include the VCF format version information thus causing an error message to generate from VEP. How do I fix the deformed VCF header? I don't know who generated it, therefore, I can't get extra help from its source.

Try and deduce the VCF version from the 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 version documentation. Safest best would be v4.2. You should then be able to add a header line manually.
