Any tips or advice for the telephone or in-person C&P exams?

[BurnedOut]

I have a telephone C&P exam for a full head-to-toe review coming up this week, followed by an in-person exam the next day.

I've been reviewing all the relevant DBQs and created a document listing my conditions, including the onset, treatment plans, and functional impacts.

Is there anything else I should be doing—or anything I should be careful to avoid?

Thank you in advance!

Just be honest with how each issues affects you. I know something that should be easier said than done is that when you have your exams give them info based on your worst day ever. Even if you are feeling great today, we don't know how we may feel tomorrow or in a week. Don't downplay your symptoms or pains. The inverse of this is don't exaggerate anything either. Last thing you want is to get caught up in fraud and have issues down the road. I had a former friend tell his examiner that he was deathly afraid of water due to service yet he goes on cruises and beach trips like he is a fish. (70% PTSD). Gonna be interesting when he is eventually found out.
