A NEXUS letter is the medical evidence a healthcare provider prepares for a veteran that explains how and why the veteran’s current medical condition is related to their military service or secondary to an established service connection disability.
In order to have a successful VA disability claim, the Veteran must meet three specific criteria; 1) they must have a current, chronic disability; 2) the disability must have been caused by, the result of, or aggravated by their military service or a secondary condition caused by an existing service connected disability; and 3) there must be a NEXUS or link between the first two criteria.
Often, the NEXUS, or link is often the hardest element of service connection to establish. If you have a claim that has been denied and you believe a NEXUS letter would improve your chances of receiving a service-connected grant, we encourage you to make an appointment with us to discuss your claim.
Please note, a NEXUS letter may not be able to be written for your claim and scheduling an appointment with our provider does not guarantee a NEXUS letter, nor service connection. However, if you believe your condition is related to your service or secondarily, please call our office and bring all relevant medical records with you to the appointment for review.
