C&P Exams Demystified

The C&P examiner isn't your enemy, but they're not your friend either. They have 30 minutes to evaluate conditions you've lived with for years. They're checking boxes on a form that determines whether you get benefits or get denied. One wrong answer—hell, one wrong word—can mean the difference between 70% and 30%.

Here's what kills most claims: Veterans walk in on a good day and say they're fine. They minimize their symptoms because that's what warriors do. They don't mention the three pain pills they took just to make it to the appointment. They don't talk about the nights they can't sleep or the days they can't work. This book teaches you how to be honest about your worst days, because that's what the VA needs to hear.
