The C&P Exam
Once your VA Disability Claim is submitted, the process moves to theย Compensation and Pension (C&P) Exam.
What to Expect
- The VA will schedule this exam and notify you of the date and time.
- A VA physician (or contracted examiner) will assess the nature and severity of each condition listed in your claim.
Why the C&P Exam Matters
- The exam results provide critical evidence for the next stage of the process.
- The examiner will not determine your rating but will document findings that influence the VAโs decision.
How to Prepare for the C&P Exam
- Be honest and thorough when discussing your symptoms.
- Provide any additional documentation not already included in your claim, such as medical records or notes from specialists.
