VETERANS AFFAIRS DISABILITY

VA Claim C&P Exam

Veterans Affairs Claim - Compensation & Pension Exam

Our clinic offers specialized Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam services for veterans seeking disability benefits from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These examinations aim to evaluate whether disabilities are connected to military service and to establish the appropriate level of compensation.

Aspects of C&P exams include:

  • Determining the presence of a service-connected disability.
  • Establishing the degree of disability, which affects the amount of compensation received.
  • Utilizing VA contract providers to expedite processing times.
  • Conducting basic physical exams without diagnosing or treating existing conditions.
  • Requesting additional tests, such as X-rays or blood work, at no cost to the veteran.
  • Requiring veterans to wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement during the exam.

It is essential to note that C&P exams differ from regular medical exams.

This service is not about treating patients, issue referrals, or prescribe medication. Instead, the focus remains on gathering information necessary for making a decision on the veteran’s claim.
