CAP (Compensation and Pension) exams

CAP (Compensation and Pension) exams are evaluations conducted by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to assess the disabilities and illnesses of veterans. These exams help determine eligibility for compensation benefits. During the assessment, healthcare professionals evaluate the veteran's medical history, conduct physical examinations, and may require diagnostic tests. The goal is to accurately document the impact of service-related conditions on the veteran’s daily life and functioning. Ultimately, the findings support the determination of financial compensation or pension benefits to assist veterans in their transition to civilian life.
