Our Role in the Medical Disability Claims Process

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. Please note that our providers are focused solely on the evaluation process and will not be administering any treatment. If you are experiencing a medical emergency or require immediate medical assistance, please immediately contact a VA hospital or private healthcare provider.

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.
