Life happens. If you miss a VA Compensation & Pension exam, it doesn’t mean your claim is doomed — but you do need to act fast.

👉 1. Call VA right away
Explain what happened and ask to have the exam rescheduled.

👉 2. Give your “good cause” reason
VA will usually reschedule if you had a legitimate issue like illness, work conflict, transportation trouble, family emergency, or if you never received the appointment notice.

👉 3. Contact the contractor if needed
Your exam may have been scheduled by LHI, QTC, or VES — they can often help get you back on the calendar.

👉 4. Don’t ignore it
If you miss the exam and don’t respond, VA can deny the claim or decide it based only on the evidence they already have.

👉 5. If you get denied, you can appeal
You can argue good cause, lack of notice, or improper scheduling.

Bottom line: Missing the exam isn’t the end — staying silent is. Take action quickly and keep your claim moving.

Too many of us have faced the frustration of opening that VA letter only to see the word “Denied.” It can feel discouraging, but here’s the truth: a denial is just the beginning of the fight, not the end.

💡 Why You Shouldn’t Give Up:

• Appeals Work: Thousands of veterans win their benefits every year through the appeals process.
• Evidence Can Be Strengthened: Medical records, buddy statements, and expert opinions can turn a denial into an approval.
• The System Is Complex: Denials often happen because of missing paperwork or technicalities—not because your service or sacrifice doesn’t matter.
• You Have Support: Accredited VA claims agents, VSOs, and advocates are here to guide you step by step.

👉 What You Can Do Next:

• Read your denial letter carefully—it explains why the claim was denied.
• Gather new evidence or documentation that addresses those reasons.
• File a Supplemental Claim, Higher-Level Review, or Board Appeal depending on your situation.
• Connect with an accredited representative who knows how to navigate the system.

💬 Bottom line: A denial is not defeat. It’s just one step in a longer journey toward the benefits you earned. Stay persistent, stay informed, and lean on your community—we rise together.

📢 Share this message with fellow veterans. No one should feel alone or give up after a denial.

⚠️ Veterans—Here’s What’s Happening With ED Ratings in 2025 ⚠️

The VA is updating several disability ratings next year, and while PTSD, sleep apnea, and tinnitus are seeing big changes, ED remains under its current framework. But here’s what you need to know:

🔹 ED Still Rated at 0% – The VA does not assign a percentage rating for erectile dysfunction alone.

🔹 Compensation Through SMC-K – Veterans can receive Special Monthly Compensation (SMC-K) (about $125/month in 2025) if ED results in loss of use of a creative organ.

🔹 Secondary Condition Emphasis – ED must be tied to another service-connected condition (like PTSD, diabetes, prostate issues, or medication side effects) to qualify.

🔹 Functional Impact Considered Indirectly – While ED itself won’t be rated under the new five-domain system, its connection to mental health or other conditions may be factored into overall ratings.

🔹 Grandfather Protection – Veterans already receiving
