But if i have, well you know, enough information about my condition, I won't be required to do the exam, right?
That's correct. In case, your medical profile has enough information, the exam won't be necessary on any instance. That's why your medical information must be as complete as possible.
I'm sure i won't need that, but it's good to know what it is. Could you tell me about its ultimate purpose?
Through this exam, we'll be capable to determine and rate your disability, based on your disability's severity. That will influence directly on how much you'll receive, and varying between monthly payments and enrollments on veterans health care programs.
