Ā When the C&P exams are complete, we will review the results together and address any errors quickly on a VA Form 21-4138 and in a rebuttal to your medical board.Ā Not to worry, I will draft these documents for you to ensure that all legal and evidentiary issues are addressed. Working together, we can offset any inaccurate or inadequate VA C&P exams
