"Computer science is really fundamental," says Zamansky. “It’s a way of thinking and problem solving that’s always existed. Just like you shouldn’t leave school without being able to think like a poet in certain ways, you should be able to think like a computer scientist in certain ways." - Yahoo! Finance

Veterans can choose Private Health Care Provider for Disability Evaluation


image of form
Veterans have the option of visiting a private health care provider instead of a VA facility to complete their disability evaluation form.
 
DBQs also help support VA's Fully Developed Claims (FDC) Program. DBQs are valuable for claims processing because they provide medical information that is directly relevant to determining a disability rating. When submitted with a fully developed claim, DBQs ensure the VA's ratings specialists have precisely the information they need to start processing the claim.
Veterans can have their providers fill out any of the more than 70 DBQs that are appropriate for their conditions and submit them to us. It’s that easy!
