Is a WRIISC evaluation the same thing as a Registry Examination or a Compensation and Pension Examination?
No. The purpose of the WRIISC-DC evaluation is to provide Veterans with an evaluation and patient education regarding their post-deployment health concerns. While the WRIISC team can provide Veterans with the contact information needed to schedule a registry examination and/or a compensation and pension examination, the WRIISC clinical team does not perform these examinations. More information on registry examinations may be found by reading the VA Registry Brochure. More information on applying for VA compensation and pension benefits may be found at the Veterans Benefit Administration.
