How to Prepare for Your VA C&P Exam: What Veterans Should Know

Posted on January 9, 2025

The Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam is a critical part of the VA disability claims process. During the C&P exam, a VA healthcare provider will evaluate your service-connected condition to determine the severity of your symptoms and how they impact your daily life. The results of the C&P exam play a major role in determining your disability rating, which directly affects the amount of compensation you’ll receive.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect during a C&P exam, common mistakes to avoid, and practical tips to ensure you’re fully prepared.

What Is a C&P Exam, and Why Is It Important?

The C&P exam is a medical evaluation conducted by a VA healthcare provider or a contracted examiner. Its purpose is to assess the severity of your service-connected condition and gather information about how your condition affects your ability to function. The VA uses the results of the C&P exam to assign a disability rating, which determines the level of compensation you’ll receive.

The C&P exam is not a typical medical appointment focused on treatment; rather, it’s an evaluation designed to gather evidence for your disability claim. The provider will review your medical records, ask questions about your symptoms, and conduct any necessary physical exams or tests.

Understanding the purpose of the C&P exam is the first step toward preparing for it. Let’s now go over the common types of C&P exams and what you can expect.

What to Expect During a C&P Exam

There are different types of C&P exams, depending on the condition you’re claiming. Some exams may involve physical assessments, while others focus on mental health evaluations. Here’s what you can expect:

Physical C&P Exams: If your claim involves a physical condition, such as back pain, knee injuries, or hearing loss, the examiner will evaluate the severity of your symptoms. This may include measuring your range of motion, checking for pain or instability, and reviewing any diagnostic tests you’ve had (e.g., X-rays or MRIs).
Mental Health C&P Exams: If your claim involves a mental health condition, such as PTSD or depression, the examiner will ask detailed questions about your mental health history, current symptoms, and how your condition affects your daily life. The examiner may also assess your mood, memory, and cognitive function.
Specialty C&P Exams: Some conditions, such as sleep apnea or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), may require specialized testing. The examiner may review your sleep study results or conduct neurological assessments.

During the exam, be honest and specific about how your condition affects your ability to function, both physically and mentally. With an understanding of what to expect, let’s move on to the most common mistakes veterans make during C&P exams—and how to avoid them.

Common Mistakes Veterans Make During C&P Exams

Many veterans make mistakes during their C&P exams that can result in a lower disability rating or even a claim denial. Here are some of the most common errors and how to avoid them:

Downplaying symptoms: Veterans often minimize their symptoms during the exam, either out of habit or because they don’t want to appear weak. This can lead to a lower disability rating, as the examiner won’t have an accurate understanding of the severity of your condition. Be honest about your symptoms, even if it feels uncomfortable.
Not being specific about limitations: It’s important to explain how your condition affects your daily life. For example, if you have chronic back pain, don’t just say, “My back hurts.” Instead, explain how the pain affects your ability to stand, walk, sit, or perform physical tasks. Provide specific examples of how your condition limits your activities.
Failing to mention secondary conditions: Many veterans forget to mention secondary conditions that are related to their primary disability. For example, if you have PTSD and it has caused you to develop depression or anxiety, be sure to mention those secondary conditions during the exam. Secondary conditions may qualify you for additional compensation.
Not asking questions: If you’re unsure about what the examiner is asking or if you need clarification, don’t hesitate to ask questions. Understanding the questions will help you provide accurate and thorough answers.

Avoiding these common mistakes will help ensure that your C&P exam accurately reflects the impact of your condition. Let’s now look at some actionable tips to help you prepare for your exam.

How to Prepare for a VA C&P Exam: Real Tips and Practical Advice

Preparing for your C&P exam is essential to ensure that the VA accurately evaluates your condition. Follow these practical tips to make sure you’re ready for the exam:

Review Your Medical Records Before the exam, take time to review your medical records and familiarize yourself with the details of your condition. This will help you discuss your symptoms more confidently and ensure that you don’t forget any important details during the exam.
- Tip: If possible, bring a copy of your most recent medical records to the exam in case the examiner has any questions about your treatment history.
Be Honest and Detailed About Your Symptoms During the exam, be truthful about the severity of your symptoms. If your condition affects your ability to work, drive, or perform everyday tasks, provide specific examples. Describe how often you experience flare-ups, the intensity of your pain or discomfort, and how long symptoms last.
- Tip: It can be helpful to keep a symptom diary leading up to the exam. Track your symptoms, noting the frequency, severity, and duration of any pain or discomfort. This will help you provide accurate information during the exam.
Describe the Impact on Your Daily Life The VA wants to understand how your condition affects your ability to function. Be ready to discuss the ways in which your disability limits your mobility, independence, and ability to perform tasks such as walking, lifting, or driving. If your condition affects your mental health, describe how it impacts your mood, sleep, or relationships.
- Tip: Be as specific as possible. For example, instead of saying, “I can’t walk far,” explain, “I can only walk a short distance before the pain becomes unbearable, and I need to sit down.”
Report Any Medications or Treatments Be sure to mention any medications or treatments you’re receiving for your condition, even if they don’t completely alleviate your symptoms. The examiner needs to know if your condition persists despite treatment.
- Tip: If you’ve undergone surgery or other major treatments for your condition, bring documentation or medical records related to those procedures.
Stay Calm and Professional It’s natural to feel anxious before a C&P exam, but try to remain calm and professional. The examiner is there to assess your condition, not to judge your character. If you feel overwhelmed or emotional during the exam, take a moment to gather your thoughts before continuing.
- Tip: Prepare for the exam by practicing how you’ll describe your symptoms. Having a clear idea of what you want to say can help ease any nerves.

By following these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to provide an accurate and thorough account of your condition during the C&P exam. Let’s now explore how Disability Law Group can assist you throughout the VA claims process and help you prepare for the exam.

When to Expect Your February Disability Payment

Posted on February 5, 2024

Around 7.4 million individuals rely on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) to meet their financial needs, making it a crucial lifeline for those facing disabilities. If you are one of the many beneficiaries, it’s essential to understand the intricacies of SSDI payment schedules, especially with the upcoming February payment cycle. In this blog, we will break down the payment dates and offer guidance on what to do if you encounter any issues.

SSDI Payment Schedule

Since 1997, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has implemented a staggered payment format based on beneficiaries’ dates of birth. This ensures a systematic and organized distribution of payments throughout the month. Here is the schedule it uses:

3rd of the Month: Beneficiaries who began receiving SSDI benefits before May 1997 can expect their payment on the 3rd of each month.
14th of the Month: Individuals born between the 1st and 10th of the month will receive their February payment on the second Wednesday, which falls on the 14th.
21st of the Month: Those born between the 11th and 20th will receive their payments on the third Wednesday, which is the 21st of February.
28th of the Month: Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of the month can anticipate their payment on the fourth Wednesday, the 28th of February.

For those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), this benefit follows a different schedule, with payments deposited on the 1st of each month.

What to Do If You Encounter Payment Issues

It’s not uncommon for unforeseen circumstances to arise, causing delays in SSDI payments. If you find yourself in a situation where your payment hasn’t been deposited on the scheduled date, here are the steps to take:

Wait for Three Mail Days

The SSA recommends waiting until three mail days after the scheduled date before taking any action. Sometimes, delays may occur due to postal services.

Contact the SSA

If the delay persists, contact the Social Security Administration through their designated contact line or visit your local Social Security office for assistance.

Check with Your Bank

Before reaching out to the SSA, it’s advisable to contact your bank to ensure there are no issues preventing the deposit. Sometimes, banking hiccups can cause delays in receiving SSDI payments.

Contact Disability Law Group for Assistance

Understanding the SSDI payment schedule is crucial for beneficiaries to manage their finances effectively. By being aware of the specific dates based on birth month and taking appropriate action in case of payment delays, individuals can navigate the SSDI system with confidence.

At Disability Law Group, we are committed to providing valuable information and support to ensure that those relying on SSDI benefits have the resources they need.

How To Get A 100% PTSD Rating From the VA

Posted on July 7, 2022

Military veterans suffering from service-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are likely to qualify for compensation from the VA. However, due to how the VA examines benefits applications, many vets do not receive the full compensation they deserve.

VA benefits are provided according to the veteran’s disability rating, which is expressed as a percentage. A 100% VA disability rating can mean thousands of dollars in added benefits each year.

If you know a veteran who is disabled by PTSD symptoms and does not have a 100% VA disability rating or its equivalent, you should speak to an experienced disability benefits attorney. The Disability Law Group helps veterans in Michigan file claims for PTSD disability, including in Macomb County, Wayne County, and Oakland County and across the nation. Contact us today to find out how to increase your loved one’s VA disability rating for PTSD.

What Is PTSD According to the VA?

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. Deployment in a war zone, combat, training accidents, and military sexual trauma may lead to PTSD, the VA’s National Center for PTSD says.

The VA considers a vet to have experienced a traumatic event if he or she suffered a serious injury, personal or sexual trauma, or was threatened with injury, sexual assault, or death.

PTSD can produce a broad range of symptoms including:

Re-experiencing trauma, such as flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts about the event
Heightened emotions such as being easily startled or angered, having difficulty concentrating, or having difficulty sleeping
Anxiety
Emotional numbness or avoidance of certain triggers for re-experiencing the trauma.

A veteran may qualify for VA disability benefits if he or she has symptoms related to a traumatic event and:

The highly stressful event happened during military service, and
The vet can’t function as well as they once could because of their symptoms, and
A doctor has diagnosed the veteran with PTSD.

Understanding the VA Disability Rating for PTSD

The VA assigns benefit applicants a disability rating based on the severity of their service-connected condition. The VA disability rating determines how much disability compensation the veteran receives each month, as well as their eligibility for other VA benefits.

A 100% disability rating means the veteran’s physical and/or mental disability makes it impossible for them to maintain substantially gainful employment. The VA defines “substantially gainful” employment as employment that people who are not disabled ordinarily undertake to earn their livelihood and which pays at a rate common to that particular occupation.

The VA rates veterans with disabilities due to mental disorders as 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, or 100% disabled.

Under federal law, a veteran who is released from active military service because of a mental disorder that develops in service as a result of a highly stressful event, such as PTSD, is automatically assigned a disability rating of 50% and reexamined in six months.

A 50% rating applies to occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity due to such symptoms as:

Panic attacks more than once a week
Difficulty understanding complex commands
Impairment of short- and long-term memory
Disturbances of motivation and mood
Difficulty establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships.

A 100% rating means total occupational and social impairment. The symptoms include:

Gross impairment in thought processes or communication
Persistent delusions or hallucinations
Grossly inappropriate behavior
The persistent danger of hurting oneself or others
Disorientation to time or place.

How To Get the Highest Disability Rating for PTSD

VA disability ratings are based on the severity of symptoms.

The primary evidence submitted to the VA to establish a veteran’s disability comes from doctors who have examined the vet and completed a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ). These forms, which have recently been updated, are specialized according to the disability, meaning there is a specific DBQ for PTSD examinations.

If the VA questions or disputes evidence a veteran submits, it can order an examination by its own physicians. This exam is known as a C&P, or “compensation and pension” exam.

Our attorneys work closely with medical specialists and can obtain medical evidence to help you receive the highest rating possible. Whether you are preparing an initial application for disability benefits or appealing a VA disability rating decision, our dedicated attorneys at Disability Law Group stand ready to assist you. We have years of experience handling VA disability cases and are proud to stand up for the men and women who served our nation.

Qualifying for Individual Unemployability in Lieu of a 100% PTSD Rating

A veteran who cannot maintain substantially gainful employment due to a service-connected illness or injury may qualify for Individual Unemployability. The veteran may be able to get disability benefits just as a veteran who has a 100% disability rating would.

A rating of Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) requires:

At least one service-connected disability rated at 60% or more, or two or more service-connected disabilities — one rated at 40% or more and producing a 70% or higher rating when combined, and
Inability to hold down substantially gainful employment because of a service-connected disability.

Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability also may be available if the veteran cannot work because of other circumstances, such as frequent hospitalization due to PTSD symptoms.

Contact Us About a Proper VA Disability Rating for PTSD

If your loved one is disabled by service-connected PTSD, we can help you ensure that he or she is paid the full government benefit promised to them. The experienced attorneys of Disability Law Group are knowledgeable about both VA and Social Security Disability benefits and how best to recover disability payments that will ensure your and your family’s financial security.

Case Spotlight – March 2022

Posted on March 18, 2022

In July 2021, Disability Law Group was contacted by a woman for help with her disability claim. She was feeling defeated after recently suffering back-to-back personal tragedies, including the loss of her son and the complete debilitation of her husband as a result of an accident. To make matters worse, she was dealing with her own medical conditions and getting nowhere with her disability claim for almost two years. She was facing what seemed like yet another insurmountable obstacle in a long of adversities. She knew she needed help, and began looking for a disability attorney who specializes only in disability benefits.

When she called Disability Law Group, she was met with compassion and encouragement, giving her the confidence that she was at the right place for help with her disability claim. We immediately got to work reviewing her file. Our team requested the updated medical records and supportive evidence and submitted everything needed to Social Security in a timely manner. When assessing a Social Security case, the judge will look at both objective and subjective evidence which can be from a variety of different sources.

Objective evidence is evidence that is backed by science – such as medical testing, including MRIs, x-rays, and EKGs, as well as physical examination findings completed by a doctor. Subjective evidence is opinion evidence such as your own testimony at your hearing, letters in support from friends and family, and a journal or diary of symptoms, for example. While both types of evidence are sought, subjective evidence is often met with more scrutiny as it is based on opinion. On the other hand, objective evidence is much less heavily scrutinized. This is why taking the time to ensure that the medical record is complete, from all relevant sources, is essential to winning your disability claim.

In this case, we did just that! The claimant had also done her part by keeping up with her medical appointments and treatment and we worked together to ascertain what needed to be ordered, as well as additional supportive evidence that could help her case. Once the records were in, Attorney Lutfi reviewed the entire file, prepared her client for the upcoming hearing, and submitted a written memorandum to the judge outlining the claimant’s treatment and arguments in support of her disability.

By the time of the new hearing, the claimant was prepared to testify, knowing that all pertinent records had been submitted and reviewed. However, shortly prior to the hearing, Disability Law Group learned that the judge would be granting what is called an “On the Record” decision in the matter. This is a fully favorable finding of disability that a judge makes without a hearing needed. Upon reviewing the medical file and memorandum, the judge agreed that the claimant was in fact disabled and was issuing an expedited decision confirming the same. She could not be more ecstatic and now could devote her time to her own healing process, as well as the care of her family after having gone through so much unimaginable tragedy in such a short time. She felt relieved, validated, and thankful for our help.

If you or someone you know has chronic pain, suffered loss, or other serious problems that keep you from being able to work and affect your ability to function normally, contact Disability Law Group today for your free consultation. Our attorneys and staff specialize strictly in disability benefits, and we will fight to help you win every benefit you deserve. We pride ourselves on helping disabled individuals receive disability benefits as quickly as possible. Whether you have been denied, or if you would like advice from the very start, contact us today to understand your rights and get the representation that you deserve.

COVID-19 and ending the Mental Health Stigma

Posted on May 27, 2021

Even with COVID-19 vaccination rates increasing, lockdowns being lifted and a trend towards “normalcy” returning, many say there is now a “second pandemic.” Health experts fear the grave mental health repercussions and residual effects of this already prevalent pandemic. While this public health crisis has existed long before pre-pandemic social distancing and isolation, ravaging those who fear to ask for help, many have barriers in the way of seeking help and treatment even in the wake of COVID-19. The SAMHSA reports that nearly 43.7% of adult Michiganders with a mental health diagnosis receive some form of treatment while 56.3% do not. For too long there has been a stigma attached to those who seek out professional health providers to address mental illnesses and conditions. Having a mental health illness or condition has incorrectly been labeled as a weakness in society.

This is not a modern day issue, as there are examples in ancient texts and literature, however there may not be a scientific diagnosis attached to the symptoms or behaviors demonstrated by some individuals suffering in silence. Many scholars believe that the ancient Greek hero Odysseus suffered from PTSD after his long journey back home from the Trojan War. This too is true not only for current veterans of war or active military personnel, but for our current healthcare and frontline workers shouldering the load against COVID-19, and so many others for a variety of reasons. Exposure to higher levels of trauma and despair has led healthcare professionals to increased rates of burnout. A MHA survey completed by 1,119 healthcare workers from June to September 2020, reported that 76% of participants experienced exhaustion and burnout (The Mental Health of Healthcare Workers in COVID-19). No matter your profession or place within society, we each carry markers of our past that are invisible to the eye. Not all disabilities and symptoms are visible, and this is especially true for mental health conditions.

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s imperative to talk about mental health and prioritize mental health treatment and resources available to the community. The mental health toll of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on all walks of life and age groups. Currently major depressive disorder impacts 14.8 million adults and is the number one reported disability for individuals 15-44 years old (Mental Health Facts, University of Michigan Counseling and Psychological Services). Unfortunately, these numbers are only projected to increase while we continue to venture into the “new normal” and begin to unpack the psychological baggage of life in lockdown. But, together, we hope to end the stigma surrounding mental health care and treatment, and help promote mental health awareness and resources available.

At Disability Law Group, we encourage all individuals to take proactive measures in mental health prevention, education, and treatment. We know how important it is to be aware of the signs of mental health illness and to ask for help. Below we have included a brief list of resources available to the community and those in need throughout the state of Michigan. While this list is not exhaustive or a complete list, it can be a great way to seek help and additional mental health resources in Michigan.

When Your Family is Entitled to Benefits On Your Record

Posted on February 12, 2019

When you start receiving Social Security disability benefits or retirement benefits, some members of your family may also qualify to receive benefits on your record. In order to receive the benefit, an application must be filed with the Social Security Administration. A spouse may be eligible to collect survivor benefits even if they have never worked under Social Security or paid FICA taxes long enough or recently, but they must be at least 62 years of age. Social Security will pay benefits to your spouse at any age if there is a child in his or her care. The child must be under age 16 or disabled before age 22, and entitled to benefits. Further, when you qualify for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your child(ren) may also qualify as dependents to receive benefits on your record (this includes a biological child, adopted child, stepchild, and even dependent grandchild). In order to be eligible, the dependent child must be:

unmarried; and
under the age of 18; or
under 19 years of age and a full-time student (12th grade or below); or
18 years or older and disabled with the disability beginning before age 22.

For the spouse to be eligible, you must be receiving or eligible to receive retirement or disability benefits. If the spouse is eligible for benefits on their own record, they will be paid that amount first. Next, Social Security will look to see if the benefit on your record is higher. Any additional amount on your record is paid to the spouse, making them potentially eligible for more than they would have otherwise received. Your benefit amount will not decrease once benefits are paid to an eligible spouse or family member. In fact, the additional amount due to an eligible family member, added to your own benefit amount, may help you decide to apply earlier instead of waiting to take your benefit. The amount your spouse will receive may be offset or reduced by other variables, such as a pension for work not covered by Social Security (e.g. government employment), and any ongoing work activity by the spouse or eligible family member.

You will need to ensure that the eligible spouse or family member has an application filed for them or on their behalf with the Social Security Administration. While the amount the eligible member can receive varies, generally the total amount that you and your family can receive is about 150 to 180 percent of your full retirement benefit. Similarly, a divorced spouse who may also qualify for benefits on your record depending on various factors, will not impact the benefit amount payable to you or your family members. If you are divorced, regardless of whether you are remarried, your ex-spouse may be entitled to collect benefits from your record so long as the following criteria is met:

You are entitled to Social Security retirement or disability benefits;
The amount your ex-spouse is eligible to collect from your record is more than the benefit they would receive on their own record;
The marriage to your ex-spouse lasted at least 10 years;
Your ex-spouse is at least 62 years of age; and
Your ex-spouse is unmarried;

Additionally, the amount your ex-spouse receives from your record will have no bearing on the amount of benefits you or your eligible spouse may receive. You and your spouse may apply online for disability or retirement benefits together or separately, and Social Security will review all applications filed based on eligibility factors. Once your spouse files for benefits on your record, they will want to be ready to supply information to the Social Security Administration to verify their eligibility and receive an approval. Examples of documents you may need to provide to Social Security include:

Birth Certificate or other proof of birth;
Proof of U.S. Citizenship or lawful alien status if you were not both in the U.S.;
W-2 Forms and/or self-employment tax returns for any years in question;
Final Divorce Decree, if applying as a divorced spouse; and
Marriage Certificate.

Whether you are thinking about applying for Social Security disability, retirement, or survivors benefits for you or a loved one, the process can be overwhelming and lengthy. Having an experience lawyer on your side to explain what to expect and help you along every step of the way is invaluable. Our caring attorneys and support staff are equipped with the tools and resources to cut through the red-tape and help you get the benefits you deserve. We care about every single case as if it were our own. Call us today or any time for a free consultation.
