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.
No C&P exam. If a veteran fails to undergo the examination, the VA typically will deny the veteran's claim. If a veteran cannot get to the VA medical center for a C&P exam appointment, the veteran should provide an explanation in writing to the VA Regional Office.
I have had successful claims with no C&P. If you submit a private DBQ or have overwhelming medical evidence in your file already and your claimed condition doesn't require some sort of ROM measurement or something similar you may not have to attend a C&P. But there is no hard rule and you never really know.
Administrative errors If there were errors in your application, such as misfiled documents, incorrect contact information, or a claim that has already been adjudicated, the VA might not schedule a C&P exam.
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.
The Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam is a medical examination conducted by a VA healthcare provider or a VA-contracted physician. The purpose of this exam is to assess the severity of your anxiety symptoms and how they affect your daily life, work, and social functioning.
Crying during a C&P exam is not inherently harmful to your claim; in fact, it could be helpful and serve as valuable evidence of the severity of your emotional or psychological condition.
You can appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals and have a Veterans Law Judge review your case. You can file a Clinical Appeal to request a review of a decision that your VA care team made about your treatment or care.
