C&P exams are only necessary when the VA needs more information to determine the extent of your disability, the connection between your service and disability, or the value of your compensation.
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.
