11. What is a DBQ and Why Do You Need a Private One?
A DBQ (Disability Benefits Questionnaire) is the exact form VA raters use to determine your disability percentage. It is essentially a checklist of symptoms.
When you go to a C&P exam, the VA doctor fills this out. If they rush and miss checking a box (like "prostrating attacks" for migraines or "30 degrees flexion" for back pain), you get a lower rating.
By submitting a Private DBQ from our network of doctors, you ensure every single symptom is accurately documented before the VA ever sees your file. It forces the rater to consider the true severity of your condition.
