Many who come into this Forum, often ask,
"What is involved in my C&P?"
Well, usually the person can call the number in the notice and ask what the C&P is to cover. Once known, the following could be of help. They are the worksheets showing what the examiner should be covering for that specific exam. I have also included at the bottom a couple of sites on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that is not in the list, but might be of use to some.
Here is the link so if the list ever gets outdated, you can access the link for the latest: http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/Benefits/exams/index.htm
Here is the list of the index (in link form) (with the addition of the MS note) to make it easy for you (I hope ).
