Embarking on the journey to secure your VA benefits can feel like navigating through a maze, filled with potential pitfalls and missteps. Among these, the drafting of Nexus letters stands out as a critical yet often misunderstood element. In the spirit of empowerment and clarity, let’s delve into the 3 mistakes commonly made with nexus letters that will get you denied, offering a beacon of guidance for veterans seeking the recognition and support they deserve.
Firstly, the precision of language in a Nexus letter cannot be overstated. Imagine the frustration of having a claim denied due to a few misplaced words, despite having all the necessary evidence. The phrases "at least as likely as not" and "more likely than not" are not just words but keys that unlock the door to a successful claim, signaling a clear connection between service and condition.
Secondly, the underutilization of peer-reviewed scientific studies in Nexus letters is a missed opportunity. These studies can significantly strengthen your claim, providing undeniable evidence of the link between your condition and service. It’s about making your case undeniable, leveraging the power of research to build an ironclad argument for your claim.
Lastly, the importance of the right medical professional signing your Nexus letter cannot be overstated. It’s not just about having a supportive doctor but having the right specialist, whose expertise aligns with your condition, validate your claim. This ensures that your Nexus letter carries the weight it deserves, coming from an authoritative voice within the relevant medical field.
Bonus Tip: The authenticity and relevance of your Nexus letter are further enhanced when the signing doctor is familiar with your medical history, ideally someone within your state. This not only adds credibility to your claim but also avoids the skepticism that can arise from using generic, possibly overused services.
By sidestepping these common missteps and embracing these strategies, you’re not just submitting a claim; you’re crafting a compelling narrative of your service and its impact on your health. This approach doesn't just aim to meet the bare minimum but goes above and beyond, turning the complex process of VA claims into a journey of empowerment. Remember, it’s not just about getting through the system; it’s about emerging on the other side with the benefits and recognition you rightfully deserve. Let's navigate this path together, ensuring that every veteran receives the support and acknowledgment they have earned.

What pisses me off is the VA will deny your doctor's opinion or a paid NP's opinion who reviewed your medical file and case saying that it not your regular doctor. But yet, a C&P examiner who examine you one time holds more weigh than a physician or specialist who has been in practice for 25 plus years, or a paid NP with the same credentials as a C&P examiner who reviewed your entire medical file and peer reviewed evidence. IT'S UNJUST and makes no sense. Geez!

I just looked at what you charge for your service and I have to say that was a breath of fresh air. You’re unfortunately not wrong when you say other people will charge you $15,000. I called “VA claims insider” after getting their adds for over a year and they charge 6x whatever they increase you. I told them as politely as I could to go fuck themselves.

So the VA used a nurse practitioner over 1000 miles away to do an ACE exam and deny my claim. Why can’t I use an MD that uses the same records to write a way more detailed opinion letter ?

Hey Jordan. I'm 100% P&T MARRIED. Long story short I'm getting tired of being denied for loss of use of my feet and right arm/ shoulder. I have a 21-2680 filled out from my PCP. And I'm having my podiatrist doing a DBQ FOR MY FEET. Both Dr's have treated me. I'm doing a supplemental claim. For loss of use and A/A. ANY SUGGESTIONS? IM 65 YRS OLD. HO AND I'm getting setup for a motorized scooter to.

It's hard to find a doctor in some states for a nexus letter so you have to go where you can get one, the VA will not help, so you have to do what you have to do, but I do agree about using the right Doctor.

My doctors have refused to write me one. She said it’s not needed as long as there’s a good paper trail from treatment. It seems pretty clear cut (to me and DAV) that my knee problem has played a big role in lower back issues. Hoping it works out.

Have you ever heard of the VA re-opening a claim on their own ?? I was denied in 1996 for my back and tinnitus and planned to claim again in the future.. in August I put in a claim for ptsd and a couple other things.. well last I got an email telling me I have two medical exams one for my back the other for tinnitus.. has this happened to anyone else ?? is it possible they reopened on their own ??

I am not an expert but, from what I can tell, the VA will review entire VA record with every claim. Can help or can get you reduced.

What do you do if the doctor refuses to write a nexus. I’m trying so hard to get migraines secondary to my spinal injury I am already service connected for and my doctor refuses to write a nexus regardless of my migraine logs I have and all the flares I get that cause my migraines because of my back conditions she still refuses to write one because she states she didn’t treat me prior to service ??? So she can’t make medical opinions since she didn’t know me prior ? I went to other doctors as well they will either say they don’t do nexus letters or refuse to put the time in to make one even if I offer to compensate their time. it really ridiculous how doctors refuse to help patients anymore. I’m not sure what to do anymore?

Yeah, it can be hard to get a private nexus depending on how bad your condition is and where you live. I've actually had an easy time getting them from multiple doctors, but that's because my conditions are really serious and I haven't been able to work for years because of them and am on Medicaid, to the point where the doctors feel sorry for me and have offered to help or did it when I asked. But I know other vets in my area that had less serious conditions get turned down by the same doctors, mainly because if it's not super clear cut, these doctors didn't want to risk being accused of helping veterans who might be accused of "malingering" by the VA. So they only write letters for "sure things" that won't expose them to accusations or threats to their medical licenses. What's the best way to get around this in my opinion? BE PATIENT. In other words, see your doctor or doctors for years for your legitimate condition and get everything documented. AFTER 2-3 years, THAT'S when you ask them for their help, assuming you have a good relationship with them. But if your condition is legit but not super serious, just asking a doctor you have no relationship with to write a nexus letter will result in rejection unless you are extremely lucky.

@JohnB-dr8sk 4 ай бұрын

To add to my first reply, for your specific case, in the eyes of most doctors, it's easy to fake migraines because they can't directly see it on a scan or x-ray, which would make them feel more confident about writing a nexus letter for. The best way in your case would just to see VA primary and specialist for a year or two, get everything documented, and take the meds they prescribe for you for it. THEN apply. But not before. It sounds like you are putting the cart before the horse where you're not building a case for your migraines medically, but instead, are only going for a nexus letter instead.

If the doctor reviewed the records that's all that should matter. I can read, you can read. Which mean if I can read through what the veterans treatment has been and write a nexus. They shoudn't be denying it. The real issue is VA Doctors should have to write them if asked. More of a scam by the VA.. idk why there is 22 day, whatever could the reasons be
