How the Series Works
📋
The Framework
  • 8 questions, every interview
  • 10–15 minutes each
  • Same questions across veterans so patterns reveal themselves over time

The 8 Questions:

  1. 1. Tell us about your service in 60 seconds
  2. 2. What condition were you claiming?
  3. 3. Which contractor did your C&P? (LSGS / OptumServe / QTC / VES)
  4. 4. Walk us through what happened in that exam room
  5. 5. When you got the report, what did it say vs. what you actually said?
  6. 6. How did the rating come out?
  7. 7. What did you do next?
  8. 8. What do you wish another veteran knew before walking in?

The Bigger Story

The interview series is one layer of a larger accountability project that claim.vet has been building since launch. Every C&P exam exists in isolation — the veteran walks out, the report goes to the VA, and nothing about what actually happened in that room becomes part of any public record. The interview series changes that. When veterans tell their stories on video, in their own words, patterns become impossible to deny.

The interviews are designed to complement the tools already live on claim.vet. Veterans can submit anonymous written reviews of their C&P exams to build a private database of contractor patterns — examiner behavior, exam duration, condition coverage — that would never surface otherwise. They can also run their exam transcript through the C&P Adequacy Checker to see whether their exam met VA guidelines and identify gaps that may support an appeal. The interviews add a human face and voice to that data.

This work started with the launch of the anonymous review tool, which introduced the idea that accountability doesn't require naming names — it requires building a pattern record that can't be ignored. The interview series takes that further. When veterans go on record — even anonymously — they create the kind of evidence that journalists, advocates, and Congressional staff can actually act on. That's the goal.
