Medical Disability Exams (C&P)
The compensation and pension examination, also known as a C&P exam or a VA claim exam, is an important part of the VA disability claim and compensation process. The VA schedules a C&P exam for veterans to help determine the service connection of your disability and the severity of your symptoms.
Adjusting to life with a crippling medical condition is not the only thing a veteran and their loved ones must deal with. Having to navigate your way through the extremely burdensome hoops required to make a disability claim can be tiresome. At ZYB Medical Group we help you simplify the process.
What to expect during your exam:
- A current and complete list of your symptoms will be documented
- A disability benefits questionnaire (DBQ) will be completed for your specific condition
- We will document any information regarding underlying conditions
- We will discuss if you have a history of mental illness that precedes your service
The goal of the C&P exam is to better understand the nature of your disability and how it affects your life. Examples of service-related disabilities include PTSD and depression, hearing loss, musculoskeletal injuries, and any other disability acquired during your military service.
