What Is A Veteran Disability Exam?
A veteran disability exam, also known as a Veteran Evaluation Services® Compensation & Pensions (VES C&P) exam or a VA claim exam, is sometimes required for military veterans and transitioning service members who are filing for VA (Veterans Affairs) disability benefits. The purpose of a VA claim exam is to determine whether you have a disability related to your military service and how severe your disability is. If you have been instructed by the VA to undergo a claim exam and live in the DeSoto, TX area, ProperCare Wellness is happy to provide comprehensive examinations to help move your claim forward. Find out more or arrange your appointment by calling our practice.
How Does A Veteran Disability Exam Work?
VA claim exams at our DeSoto, TX office can take anywhere from 15 – 60 minutes, depending on your claim. During your appointment, a member of our team will sit down with you to review your medical records (including your claim file), along with any other documents related to your service and health. We'll also perform a physical exam and may order blood tests, x-rays, or other tests to get a better idea of your condition. Once we're done, we'll review our findings before putting them into a report and sending it to the VA. If the department requires more information for your claim, we can arrange a follow-up.
How Should I Prepare for My Veteran Disability Exam?
You should submit any new non-VA medical records to our practice before your appointment. You do not necessarily need to bring anything to your disability exam, but there are a few items you can bring that may help, including:
- Any medical records related to your disability (we should have these, but this will ensure we have everything we need)
- Any medical devices designed to assist with your disability (such as a cane or brace)
- Your service treatment records
- A list of any medications you're taking
