Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs)
What is a DBQ and why does the VA use it?
A DBQ is a standardized medical form that lets doctors
describe the severity of a condition in VA‑friendly terms.
The VA relies on DBQs to match your symptoms with the
correct diagnostic code and rating criteria.
The right DBQ speaks the VA’s language and can
speed up your claim.
Who can complete my DBQ?
Any licensed clinician may fill one out, but the VA gives
more weight to specialists who review your full record.
Every DBQ we deliver is authored and signed by a
board‑certified MD or DO who understands VA standards.
Specialist credentials = stronger evidence.
How much does it cost?
- $500 / DBQ per condition‑specific DBQ
- $500 one‑time record review
(separate fee)
Flexible, interest‑free payment plans keep budgeting easy.
Transparent pricing—no hidden fees.
Which DBQs does VetNexusMD complete?
VetNexusMD completes psychiatric DBQs only (PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and related mental health conditions) through a clinical interview on a secure electronic platform, available to veterans with verified current residence in Massachusetts or Florida. We may also provide records-based nexus opinions for already-diagnosed non-psychiatric secondary conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, migraine headaches, or IBS, when the records, medical literature, and case-specific evidence support a secondary connection to a primary psychiatric condition such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety. We do not complete DBQs for non-psychiatric conditions.
Our 3‑step process
- Upload & consent – Securely share your VA
and medical records through our HIPAA‑compliant portal. - MD review & call – A physician reviews your
file and schedules a brief clinical interview on a secure electronic platform, for verified Massachusetts or Florida residents. - Delivery – Receive your completed DBQ within
about 1–2 weeks on average in an encrypted PDF.
Three simple steps from records to ready‑to‑file paperwork.
Will the VA reimburse my DBQ fee?
No. The VA does not cover private DBQ costs, but a precise
form can shorten claim timelines and prevent costly
appeals.
An accurate DBQ is an investment in faster, stronger claims.
