You will use applicable documentation protocols and the Request for Examination during a C&P examination. To stay within the parameters of the C&P examination, you should periodically check the Request to ensure that you are securing the right information to address all requests and questions from VBA. If Mr. Doe asks for treatment for a non-emergent condition as you examine him, remember that this would not be within C&P examination parameters and recommend that he contact his treatment provider for follow-up.

Recommending that Veterans and Servicemembers contact their treatment provider for follow-up is the correct response whenever they bring up medical concerns or questions that are unrelated to the C&P examination.
