Nice going Tbird, but I have learned some new things recently in ref to c&p exams.

Are there any other vets with exam reports that can relate to what I found? I wonder if the worksheets are going to change soon too.

C&p recently done, compared detail style of recent c&p exam with older ones, very different. Then found a 'compensation and pension exams handbook'on the va website.

Seems more like a guided 'checklist' than the familiar 'worksheet' style exams with a diagnostic description and medically opinion.
