C & P Exams?

Question:

Is there any point (age) at which the VA no longer calls you in for D&B exams? I turn 60 this year. I have 90% disability

I'm going to guess you're asking about "future exams" or the Compensation & Pension (C & P) exams that are required of veterans who have temporary ratings. A temporary rating is usually awarded for a mental health condition or any other condition that VA believes will improve over time and with treatment.
 

Most often the temporary rating is 100% and since I don't know what you're rated for I'm not going to be able to tell you much more that that. Your condition must be static over time for you to be awarded a permanent rating and the best place to get that documented is at the next C & P exam. The examiner can suggest to the record that your condition has stabilized and won't change and that usually prompts a change to a permanent rating. Good luck.
