Compensation and Pension (C&P) examinations

Compensation and Pension (C&P) examinations are evaluations conducted by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to assess a veteran's health and any service-related disabilities. These exams help determine eligibility for disability benefits and compensation. During a C&P exam, medical professionals review the veteran's medical history, perform physical examinations, and may conduct tests to evaluate conditions claimed for benefits. The goal is to establish a clear link between the veteran's military service and their current health issues, ensuring that they receive appropriate support and compensation for their sacrifices.
