Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ)

A Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) is an official form provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that helps document your medical condition for disability rating purposes. It allows a physician to record key clinical information in a format the VA uses to make claim decisions.

A Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) is typically required or recommended when a veteran is:

While the VA may not always explicitly require a DBQ, submitting one can significantly improve the quality of medical evidence in your claim and help the VA make a faster, more informed decision.

We complete VA Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) only for conditions that can be accurately assessed through remote video consultation.

We’re able to assist with many non-musculoskeletal and non-mental-health conditions, such as certain sleep apnea, migraine, GERD, IBS, sinusitis, etc.

We do not complete DBQs that require an in-person physical exam, imaging, or diagnostic testing — including musculoskeletal, mental health, gynecological, or certain cardiac conditions.

👉 Please contact us to confirm whether your specific condition qualifies for remote DBQ completion.

Our DBQ completion service is USD $249 per DBQ.

A video consultation with a physician is required to complete your DBQ. This consultation ensures medical accuracy and compliance with VA documentation standards. The consultation is billed at a one-time fixed rate of USD $199, regardless of how many DBQs you need.

Each additional DBQ for other conditions is billed separately at $249 per form.

Yes. Every DBQ we complete includes a secure video consultation with a licensed physician.

During this session, the doctor reviews your symptoms, history, and supporting documentation to ensure your DBQ is accurate and complete.

We use the official Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) made publicly available by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

It’s important to note that VA Compensation & Pension (C&P) examiners use an expanded, digital version of these same DBQs inside the VA’s internal system.

Those internal versions may include:

Our physicians complete the official public DBQs in accordance with VA’s published medical and rating standards.

While these public forms do not include every internal C&P field, they are official, valid, and accepted as independent medical evidence for your VA disability claim.

Our DBQs use official VA forms and adhere to VA medical documentation standards, making them valid evidence for your claim. However, the VA retains full discretion over how it weighs any evidence.

We cannot guarantee specific claim outcomes or ratings.

Yes. We maintain full HIPAA compliance for all data handling, video consultations, and record storage.
