Separation Health Assessment
Separation Health Assessment
Compensation and Pension (C&P) exams are thorough medical evaluations that are part of the claims review process. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses the information gathered by the examiners to determine the level of disability. A C&P exam will only be scheduled if a veteran has filed a compensation and pension claim through the VA system.

Post-Deployment Health Reassessment
The Periodic Health Assessment (PHA) is a medical screening tool used by the military to evaluate the medical readiness of its service members. This assessment can be conducted on its own or combined with other individual medical readiness evaluations. It is performed annually to ensure that soldiers are both medically fit and mentally prepared to fulfill their military duties.

Independent Medical Exams
Exams And DBQs
ASES offers medical opinions and access to exams by licensed physicians. These exams, along with a thorough review of medical records, help complete Disability Benefit Questionnaires (DBQs), improving the success of veterans' claims. Our experts know how to maximize your disability rating, whether you're seeking to increase an existing rating or strengthen an initial claim.
Some DBQs may require travel, but this exam is crucial for securing tax-free, monthly VA benefits. Our medical professionals conduct exams and complete DBQs nationwide.
After a pre-screening consultation, if we can assist, payment for each step must be received before proceeding. All exams include a Record Review and Strategy Consultation. Discounts are available for multiple opinions or combined exams/DBQs.
Conditions We Handle
Agent Orange Exposure
TERA
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.
Psychiatric
Mental Health
Veterans with mental health conditions like PTSD, depression, or anxiety may qualify for VA disability benefits. The VA often denies claims without an in-service diagnosis, but conditions can also be linked to service-connected disabilities.
Orthopedic
Musculoskeletal and Joint Injuries, Including Arthritis
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.
Nerve and Neurological
Migraines and Headaches
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.
