Compensation and pension, or C&P exams, are a typical part of the VA disability benefits process. C&P exams are weighed heavily by VA when determining if a veteran's condition is service connected and assigning a disability rating. As mental health conditions are common among veterans, VA conducts many C&P exams for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other related conditions. To learn more about C&P exams for depression, including how they work and what to expect, be sure to tune in!

I just had an exam on the 24th of October. Everything these young people are saying is absolutely on point. The examiner asked those exact questions almost in the exact order. I was prepared and straightforward. Hopefully I will be in the Hundo Club real soon!

The major issue is the VA giving more weight to a C&P examiner who has never met you before and will never meet you again than your own treating Dr. That is just completely illogical.

I have my depression exam coming up Oct 30th after 11 months of first filing my claims. My depression is pretty bad, caused me a lot of issues in my life, hopefully the doctor will be understanding to listen to them. Thank you for making this video.

....and? If you have it diagnosed by your regular doctor, it should be fairly straight-forward for you I would think?

QTC sent me a letter saying I couldn't bring anyone in the building unless it was for a medical reason like needing someone to push a wheel chair ect. So I guess some don't allow you to bring anyone

I always wondered or no. If the VA had a duty give the C&P examiner. My military medical records.. I had C& P exam in 1983. And the VA didn't give the examiner my military medical records. And the examiner still determined that my Psychiatric condition happen in the military and the VA turned around and said he was entitled to an opinion. Now that's what you call a rig system
