GENERAL QUESTIONS
What is a Nexus Letter?
A Nexus Letter is a medical opinion written by a qualified healthcare provider that connects a veteran’s current medical condition to their military service.
Do I need a Nexus Letter for my VA disability claim?
A Nexus Letter is not always required but can be crucial if your service connection is not clearly documented.
Who writes the Nexus Letter?
A licensed medical professional, such as a doctor, nurse practitioner, or specialist, with experience in VA claims.
How much does a Nexus Letter cost?
Pricing varies depending on complexity, medical record review, and time required. (You could link to your Pricing page here.)
Can I use a VA doctor to write my Nexus Letter?
VA doctors typically will not write Nexus Letters, as they work for the VA. You’ll need an independent provider.
VA Disability & Service Connection Questions
What conditions can be connected with a Nexus Letter?
Any condition that is linked to your service, including PTSD, TBI, musculoskeletal injuries, hearing loss, and secondary conditions.
What if I was denied VA benefits? Can a Nexus Letter help?
Yes! A strong Nexus Letter can be submitted as new evidence during an appeal or supplemental claim.
What is the “at least as likely as not” standard?
This is the VA’s burden of proof, meaning that if it is 50% or greater probability that your condition is related to service, it should be granted service connection.
Process & Timeline Questions
What do I need to provide for a Nexus Letter?
Military service records, VA claim details, past medical records, and any relevant private medical evaluations.
How long does it take to get a Nexus Letter?
Typically 1-4 weeks, depending on record review and provider workload.
Can you guarantee that my claim will be approved with a Nexus Letter?
No, but a well-written Nexus Letter strengthens your case significantly. Other factors, like VA exams (C&P exams) and evidence, also play a role.
Do you provide follow-up support if the VA requests additional information?
Some providers offer follow-up clarifications or additional letters for an extra fee.
Miscellaneous Questions
Can you help with VA appeals?
While we provide medical opinions, we do not offer legal representation. A VA-accredited attorney or VSO can assist with appeals.
Do you write Nexus Letters for secondary conditions?
Yes, secondary conditions (like sleep apnea secondary to PTSD) often require strong medical evidence to establish the link.
How do I submit my Nexus Letter to the VA?
You can upload it via VA.gov, submit it through your VSO, or mail it to your VA regional office.
