Exactly what you just looked up.
Just remember they are watching you and evaluating you from the time you get out of the car and walk in.
They ask how are today? You say fine. Really? Why are you there? Be truthful. Maybe it’s: "some days are worse than others".
How are you dressed or shaved? It’s that typical attire and look? Be honest. They can’t read your mind
They drop something and watch how far and quickly you bend over to pick it up or you don’t or can’t. This is the time to listen to your body.
How many take pain meds? Why? To trick your brain basically so the pain is less. How do you feel without those meds? Isn’t that what you want the doctors and C & P examiners to understand and See?
Veterans this is the time to be real. Maybe you haven’t been truthful about your conditions while in service afraid of discharge or whatever but now you have to be honest or don’t bother filing a claim because nobody will get paid.
Why are you filing for VA benefits? You earned it. Your conditions are do to time in service.
