What to Expect in a Sleep Apnea C&P Exam | VA Disability

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses what happens in a C&P examination for sleep apnea.
Leah provides an informative overview of what veterans can expect during a Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam for sleep apnea. She explains that these exams are primarily conducted by one of three main contractors and outlines the process of the exam, including possible paperwork and the types of healthcare professionals who might perform the evaluation. Leah details the Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) and the kinds of questions veterans can expect, such as the type of sleep apnea, symptoms, use of CPAP or other devices, and the impact of the condition on daily life and work. She emphasizes that veterans can bring additional documents to support their case but reminds them that the examiner will not provide a medical opinion immediately.
