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.
The C&P Exam is the second step of the VA Disability Process, and Step 3 of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. In some cases, more than one C&P Exam will be required. The first exam is usually conducted by a general physician. In most cases, this will be the only exam needed.
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.
After you file your application for disability benefits from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), it's normal to want a decision as soon as possible. However, you will need to be patient. As of June 2021, the average time it takes for the VA to issue a decision on VA benefits is 134.4 days.
Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for a 100% rating, veterans must demonstrate that their service-connected disabilities are totally disabling. This means that the disabilities must severely impair the veteran's ability to work and perform daily activities.
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.
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.
Does everyone who files a claim need to take a C&P exam? Not always. If you have enough medical evidence and documentation that ties your injury or illness to your service, then it may not be necessary to take an 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.
