A Compensation & Pension (C&P) examination gives the VA a medical opinion it uses to decide service connection and, if connected, your disability rating.
Not every veteran is scheduled for one — and you also have the right to obtain your own independent medical examination. Though a C&P exam can feel cumbersome, it is often a necessary step toward the benefits you have earned.

Submitting an Intent to File form may help Veterans protect an effective date for potential VA disability benefits and retroactive compensation.

You may receive an email from the VA saying you have limited time left to complete your disability application.
