A VA examination is a critical step in the VA disability claims process.  With VA’s removal of public-facing DBQs, the trend toward more contract examinations, and an ongoing pandemic, preparing your clients for VA examinations is more challenging than ever.  Join NOVA member and former VA Physician Assistant Bethanie Spangenberg as she discusses the current climate at VA and describes the best ways to prepare your clients for a compensation and pension (C&P) examination, whether in person or virtual.
