What happens during veterans' disability exams?

Veterans' services disability exams help assess health conditions that affect your daily life, work, mobility, or overall function. During the visit, Stephanie reviews your medical history, current symptoms, medications, past diagnoses, and how your condition affects your routine.

She may also complete a physical exam, review available records, and document objective findings. The goal is to provide a thorough medical evaluation that reflects your current health status and the impact of your symptoms.

• Walking
• Lifting
• Sleeping
• Concentrating
• Working
• Driving
• Completing daily tasks

This whole-person view helps ensure your exam reflects both your medical findings and your functional challenges.

What conditions can veteran services help evaluate?

• Neck pain
