Here's why a claim for a presumptive condition might be denied: Insufficient Proof of Service Requirements: The VA may deny your claim if you can't show evidence that you served in the required locations or during the specific timeframes tied to the presumptive condition.
If you fail to show up to any claim or C&P exam(s), it is likely that your claim decision will be delayed while VA tries to reschedule your exam. Your claim could also be rated “as-is” (using only the current information in your file).
Does everyone who files a claim need to have a C&P exam? No. VA will ask you to have a claim exam only if we more information is needed to decide your claim. If you have enough medical evidence in your file to support your claim, VA won't ask you to have a claim exam.
Prepare for a C&P Exam The VA will likely schedule a C&P exam to assess your hypertension. During the exam, the healthcare provider will take your blood pressure and ask about your symptoms, treatments, and how your hypertension affects your daily life.
Generally, veterans will attend a Compensation & Pension (C&P) examination and the examiner will use a goniometer to measure how far they can bend forward, backward, and side to side. VA will use these range of motion measurements to determine the severity of a veteran's back condition.
