Examiner Nurse Practitioner
Loyal Source Government Services, Lafayette, LA, United States
Position Purpose
As an Examiner, you will conduct Compensation & Pension (C&P) Examinations for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with respect to their in‑service injury claims. The role involves reviewing the claim, performing focused assessments of claimed injuries, reviewing medical records, and potentially rendering a medical opinion based on the record review and completed C&P exam. Charting from home may be required. Your work will directly impact the Veteran experience.
These Medical Disability Examinations are a critical component of the VA’s benefits process, facilitating access to treatment subspecialists and ensuring continuity of care when needed.

Qualified candidates must hold an active license, be able to work independently and collaboratively, possess strong people skills, and be adaptable to changing situations. Basic computer skills are required.
