Question 1

What exactly is a Nexus Letter (Independent Medical Opinion)?

Accepted Answer

A Nexus Letter is a physician-written opinion that explains how your condition is at least as likely as not linked to your military service. It bridges the gap between your medical records and the VA’s legal standard.

Question 2

Do I need a Nexus Letter for every VA disability claim?

Accepted Answer

If a recent VA C&P exam already makes the link, you may not need one. When the link is missing or you’re claiming a secondary condition, a Nexus Letter can be the deciding factor.

Question 3

How many letters will I need?

Accepted Answer

You need one letter per condition. Claiming migraines and PTSD? You’ll need two letters—each with its own medical reasoning and citations.

Question 4

How fast can I get my letter?

Accepted Answer

Our standard turnaround is 1-2 weeks on average from the time of the $500 record review/deposit and receipt of all needed records. Expedited processing, for qualifying cases, in 3 business days for $800.

Question 5

What documents should I send?

Accepted Answer

Service medical records, recent treatment notes, prior rating decisions, and any lay or buddy statements that support your claim.

Question 6

Who writes my letter and why does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Your letter is drafted and signed only by board-certified MDs or DOs with specialty expertise. The VA gives greater weight to opinions from credentialed experts.

Question 7

Can you diagnose or treat me?

Accepted Answer

No. We provide independent medical opinions based on existing diagnoses and records. For treatment, consult your healthcare provider.

Question 8

Will you file my VA claim for me?

Accepted Answer

We focus on the medical side. Accredited VSOs or attorneys can file and track your claim. We’re happy to coordinate with them.

Question 9

Is success guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

A Nexus Letter strengthens your case, but no ethical provider can promise approval. Outcomes depend on many VA factors.

Question 10

What does it cost and do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Medical record review: $500. Nexus Letter: $1,000 per condition. DBQs: $300–$500 each. Interest-free payment plans are available.
