In-Person Claim Exams

Since VA resumed in-person Compensation & Pension (C&P) exams, a lot of Veterans want to know not only where to get one, but what they are. VA Claim exams may be required to complete your request for VA disability or pension benefits. If you require an exam, a medical exam provider will contact you. #VAclaimexam
