Independent medical opinions offer the VA credible support linking current medical conditions to military service, particularly when prior opinions are unfavorable or causation evidence is needed. ASES assists veterans in obtaining these opinions to strengthen their claims and secure their benefits.
Many veterans face disabilities that hinder their ability to work, and the VA’s rating system often fails to reflect the true impact on employment. TDIU addresses this by providing compensation equivalent to a 100% rating, even for those rated 60% or 70%, which can be life-changing for struggling veterans.
Comprehensive support for our patients who are disabled veterans. Eligible veterans may obtain handicap parking permits or disabled veteran license plates through the state of Louisiana, granting access to designated parking spaces and extended parking privileges.
Compensation and Pension (C&P) exams are detailed medical evaluations used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to assess disability claims. These exams are scheduled only after a veteran files a compensation and pension claim with the VA.
The Separation Health Exam (SHA) is a military health examination conducted to gather medical information for veterans' compensation and pension claims. The VA administers SHA exams for soldiers applying for disability compensation through the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program.
The Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) is a military medical screening tool that evaluates the medical readiness of service members. Conducted annually, it ensures soldiers are medically fit and mentally prepared for their duties.
The Post-Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHR) is a health screening assessment for military personnel returning from deployments. This screening is conducted between 90 and 180 days after their return.
Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, caused severe health issues, including cancer, birth defects, and neurological disorders. Veterans who served in Vietnam (1962–1975) or near the Korean DMZ (1967–1971) are presumed to be exposed. Those diagnosed with a VA-recognized presumptive condition may qualify for disability benefits without needing to prove direct service connection. A DD214 typically verifies eligibility. All 50 states.
A military career is physically demanding, leading to musculoskeletal injuries from activities like road marches, running, airborne operations, and obstacle courses. These high-impact actions often result in chronic pain and joint damage, with common injuries affecting the knees, hips, feet, legs, back, neck, and other joints. Only in Louisiana.
Migraines and severe headaches can be debilitating, often preventing veterans from working, spending time with family, or participating in social activities. In extreme cases, they can lead to unemployability. Unfortunately, the VA restricts the maximum disability rating for migraines to 50%, which may result in veterans receiving inadequate compensation for their condition. All 50 states.

No. We are contracted with VA, who provides reimbursements for this service, free of charge to Veterans.The exam is designed to assess your medical condition specifically for your compensation and pension claim with Veterans Affairs.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency or require immediate medical assistance, please immediately contact a VA hospital or private healthcare provider.
C&P exams are an important part of the VA claims process and are completely free for our veterans. These exams help evaluate any disabilities you may have and determine the level of compensation you could qualify for from the Department of Veterans Affairs. During the disability evaluations, professionals will conduct thorough medical assessments to understand how your service-connected disabilities affect your life. We're here to support you every step of the way!
Your compensation and pension (C&P) exam is scheduled through ASES to expedite the process and offer greater convenience. ASES partners directly with the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) to conduct exams that meet VA standards, ensuring you receive the same level of care as you would in a VA facility. Our providers are trained and certified under strict VA guidelines to gather the essential information needed for the VBA to process your claim accurately and efficiently.
If you wish to bring any additional documents to your exam, please feel free to do so. These documents can provide helpful context and support the evaluation process. However, the VA supplies us with all relevant records included in your claim file. If you have any additional records that you haven’t yet submitted to the VA, please send them to the VA promptly so they can be included with your file. This ensures we have the ?most complete information for your evaluation.
We strive to schedule your appointments as soon as possible, at the earliest available time with a provider. If your appointments are not scheduled for the same day, it simply means that the providers and facilities nearest to you were not available on the same date. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility in this matter.
To help us better serve other veterans and providers, please inform ASES as soon as possible if you are unable to attend your scheduled evaluation.
You're welcome to bring family members, significant others, or caregivers to your exam for support. Please note that some facilities may have limited waiting room space, and exams can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the conditions being evaluated. We appreciate your understanding and are here to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Once your exam is complete, our provider submits the report to the VA for review. We ensure all necessary information is included, and if any additional appointments are needed, we’ll let you know.
If no further exams or details are required, ASES will send the provider’s report to the VA to help determine your rating. You also have the option to see a Readjustment Counselor if you need support transitioning from military to civilian life.
Our goal is to make the compensation and pension process as quick and smooth as possible, so your claim can be resolved promptly.
