C&P Exam Reference: Top 400 VA Conditions
This page covers the Top 400 VA Conditions and provides an organized, condition-by-condition resource for veterans preparing for Compensation & Pension (C&P) exams. For each of the 400 most-frequently-claimed service-connected conditions, the site presents the official Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) form title that the VA uses during exams and reproduces the exact 38 CFR Part 4 rating criteria that adjudicators apply when assigning a disability evaluation. Conditions are sorted into body system groups (e.g., cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory), with the most commonly claimed codes at the top of each section, making it easy to find relevant diagnostic criteria and understand how severity and symptoms translate into VA ratings. This reference is designed to help veterans and advocates review the specific language the VA uses to evaluate disability claims and better prepare for what medical evidence and exam findings matter most.
