Compensation and Pension (C&P) exams

Compensation and Pension (C&P) exams are medical evaluations conducted by healthcare providers for veterans applying for disability benefits from the VA. These exams assess the severity and impact of service-connected conditions to determine eligibility and the level of compensation. The process involves discussing medical history, symptoms, and conducting physical exams. The results help the VA decide how much disability compensation a veteran should receive, ensuring the benefits accurately reflect their health status related to military service.
