What a DBQ is
A Disability Benefits Questionnaire records clinical information in a standardized format that VA may use during the disability evaluation process.
How to find the appropriate form
The official VA library organizes public DBQs by body system. Some examiner forms may not be publicly available. Forms and instructions can change.
Who can complete a DBQ
A healthcare provider may complete an applicable public DBQ, subject to the form’s requirements. Completing a DBQ does not itself establish entitlement to benefits.
What to do here
Use this library for general education and use the official VA DBQ page for the latest printable forms. This site does not choose a DBQ for your claim.
