VA claim exam (C&P exam)
After you file your disability benefits claim, we may ask you to have a claim exam (also known as a compensation and pension, or C&P, exam). Get answers to commonly asked questions about the VA claim exam.
Why might I need a VA claim exam?
This exam will help us determine if you have a service-connected disability. It will also help us rate your disability if you have one.
We base your rating on how severe your disability is—and your rating will affect how much disability compensation you’ll receive. Compensation may include things like monthly payments and enrollment in the VA health care program.
