After the exam, go to the Release of Information office at the VAMC & request a copy of the exam be mailed to you. Or MyHealth E Vet website Blue Button feature will allow you to view it in 3 days. Check over the exam report to make sure doc wrote down correctly what you said. If not, you can fill out a form to request a correction of your medical records.

Let me add a few words... 

I was rated in 2016 for my TBI.. my exam consisted of: 

1.  being asked questions about memory,

2. draw a simple picture from memory ( after examiner showed the picture )

3. Questions about head aches....

It was really a very easy exam

 

Lately I did have an exam for my eyes... at the local VA.. when I tried to get the C/p results ,   there is a note saying it is blocked from my receipt for 30 day.... in the pass the c/p exam was available in 3 days..

BY the way  I received an increase in my eye disability from 30% to 60%  .. it took the va 3 working days after the exam to make the award.
