Comprehensive Psychological Evaluations for Veterans
Independent forensic assessments that capture what rushed C&P exams miss.
Dr. Richard Fleitas brings 20+ years of assessment and military mental health expertise to every evaluation. As a current C&P examiner who conducts thorough independent assessments, I understand exactly where the system can sometimes fail veterans as well as how comprehensive documentation makes the difference.
While typical C&P contractors process 4-6 evaluations daily, I conduct one detailed assessment
that actually documents your experiences and your complete clinical picture.

Why Independent Evaluation Matters
After conducting hundreds of C&P examinations, I understand precisely how adjudicators evaluate mental health claims. Too many veterans receive inadequate ratings because their initial evaluations failed to properly document symptoms and functional impairment. That's why I established this independent practice - to provide comprehensive evaluations and DBQs that speak directly to rating criteria.
My evaluations deliver what adjudicators need:
-
Complete records review (STRs, VA files, personnel records)
-
1.5-2 hour clinical interviews capturing all symptom domains
-
DBQs with thorough rationales linking symptoms to rating criteria
-
Clear documentation of occupational and social impairment levels
-
Service connection nexus opinions with full clinical justification
-
Reports that translate complex presentations into VA-relevant language
Whether you're filing an initial claim, seeking an increase, or need thorough documentation for secondary conditions, you'll receive an evaluation that addresses every element adjudicators examine - because I review these same elements every day.
