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.
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.
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.
10 Year Rule: This rule stipulates that VA cannot entirely revoke your rating for a condition that you have had for a sustained period of 10 years. It is possible for VA to reduce the rating, however, based on evidence gathered from C&P exams.
C&P examinations are an optional part of the VA disability claims process, optional to the VA. C&P examinations are either scheduled or not, depending on the nature of the claim and the sufficiency of the documentation provided along with your claim application.
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.
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.
