Q: How is the C&P exam for TDIU?

Answer:

The C&P exam for TDIU is all about whether your service-connected conditions keep you from holding a steady job. The examiner will ask about your work history, why you left jobs, and how your disabilities mess with daily life and work tasks. You might get a physical or mental exam, but the main thing is showing whether you can reliably work—not just if you’re disabled on paper. Bring any lay statements or work records you have, and be honest about what you can and can’t do. The goal isn’t to prove you’re helpless, just that your service-connected issues keep you from working full-time.
