Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses What to Expect in a Hypothyroidism C&P Exam.
Leah explains hypothyroidism and its relevance to VA disability evaluations. Hypothyroidism, often autoimmune (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), is characterized by an underactive thyroid, leading to symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, muscle weakness, menstrual changes, and memory issues. Leah discusses how hypothyroidism can be primary (diagnosed in active duty) or secondary (caused/worsened by another service-connected disorder). She advises veterans on the Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam process following a disability claim, emphasizing the role of the Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) in documenting symptoms and their impact on daily life and work.
