Our Evaluation Services
Discover the range of evaluations conducted for Veterans filing direct, secondary, or review claims. We conduct thorough and personalized assessments to support Veterans in filing their claims for VA benefits.
Evaluations for Direct Service Connection
When Veterans are applying for direct service connection, the examiner will explore and document the Veteran's stressors from their military service. Consequently, the examiner will document how these stressors have affected the Veteran's psychological presentation, as well as social and occupational functioning.
Review Evaluations
Review Evaluations are conducted for Veterans who are already service connected for a psychological condition but may not be receiving a VA rating reflecting the current level of associated impairment. Examiners will assist in providing an updated account of the Veteran's mental health with suggested VA rating.
Evaluations for Secondary Service Connection
When Veterans are applying for secondary service connection, the examiner will discuss and document how the Veteran's service connected physical conditions have impacted the Veteran's psychological presentation.
Evaluations via Telehealth Platform
All examinations provided by Dr. Riddell & Associates are conducted via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. Veterans are able to access services if they are present in any of the 42 PsyPact states/territories. Veterans will be provided with a login and technical support as needed.
Another positive review for Dr. Riddell
"VA C&P telehealth exam. He is definitely in the right position to help. The VA system is full of examiners that couldn't care less about a person. His job was to judge the claim but his thoughts and ideas during our interview gave a new perspective. Nothing but positive thoughts from our meeting..."
