Today, Brian Reese the VA Claims Insider reveals how to get your C&P exam results quickly and painlessly.
What’s the bottom line?
Ever since the VA moved to contracted third-party C&P exams, it has become harder to get the results of your exam.
But it is possible, you just need to know how to do it.
There are two primary ways to get copies of your C&P exam results.
One method is fast, and the other is slow:
- Fastest method: The quickest way to get your C&P exam results is to have your accredited VSO download copies from the Veteran Benefits Management System (VBMS).
- Slowest method: The alternate method to get your C&P exam results is by filing a FOIA request for a copy of your VA C File. This can take 12-18 weeks or more. I’ve personally seen it take 10 months, so realize that wait times vary wildly from one veteran to the next.
How Do I Get My C&P Exam Results?
You have two options.
Here’s how to request C&P exam results right now:
- Option #1: The fastest way to get your C&P exam results is to have your accredited VSO download copies of the final exam report from the Veteran Benefits Management System (VBMS). This is a system that only accredited representatives have access to. Also note that not all accredited representatives can access VBMS. Ask yours!
- Option #2: The alternate method to get your C&P exam results is by filing an FOIA request for a copy of your VA C File. Note that this option can take 12-18 weeks or more. The good news is you’ll get all your records, literally every document for every claim you’ve ever filed, including your VA Rating Code Sheet.
Can I Get My C&P Exam Results by Calling the C&P Exam Company?
No, you can’t get your C&P exam results by calling a private third-party contracted company who performed the examination.
Nor can you get the results at your exam or directly from the provider (don’t even waste your time asking).
If you want copies of your C&P exam results and notes, choose one of the two options listed in the paragraph above.
What Private Contractors Conduct C&P Exams for the VA?
The VA uses multiple private third-party C&P exam companies, including Loyal Source Government Services (LSGS), Optum Serve (formerly LHI), Leidos QTC Health Services, and Veterans Evaluation Services (VES).
Note this list can change from time to time.
