About the Evaluation Work

Veteran disability examination work brings together the information collected during a visit and the records available for review. The value of the work rests in an accurate, understandable account of the assigned evaluation. Staying focused on that purpose supports consistent communication between the people arranging the visit, the person completing the assessment and the team reviewing the resulting documentation.

Documentation and Coordination

Accuracy matters throughout the visit, from reviewing the information provided to completing the final record. Check details as the work progresses and keep written information organized. Communicate relevant questions through the examination team’s established workflow.

Consistency Across the Visit

A careful approach includes preparing for the assigned work, staying attentive during the visit and reviewing the record before considering the task complete. These parts of the workflow support one another.
