Accurate Medical Documentation Makes All the Difference

Disability benefits questionnaires (DBQs) are used to collect and record relevant medical information for the purpose of processing Veterans’ disability claims. DBQs are medical examination forms that the VA uses to evaluate the severity of a Veteran’s disabilities. These forms are instrumental in the process of applying for an increase in your VA disability rating, as they guide the VA to properly rate the progression of your condition. It is essential that DBQs are completed accurately and with attention to detail, documenting all aspects of a Veteran’s worsening conditions. At REE Medical, we work with a network of private doctors who have an understanding of the claims process.

Veterans may choose to work with REE Medical when they need detailed, independent medical documentation that complements the VA’s processes. While the VA and personal physicians provide important care, REE Medical connects Veterans with independent medical providers who specialize in conducting evaluations that meet VA standards for disability claims. Our services are especially beneficial if you’ve struggled with incomplete or insufficient medical evidence in past claims or feel your disability is not fully documented.

• An Initial Claim is filed when a Veteran is seeking a disability rating for a service-connected condition that has not been rated before by the VA.
• An Increase Claim applies when a Veteran already has a service-connected disability rating but believes their condition has worsened and needs to request a higher rating.
