Medical Disclaimer

An independent medical opinion, records review, or evaluation arranged through Patriot NEXUS Letters is prepared for evidentiary purposes. It is not treatment, it does not create an ongoing doctor-patient treatment relationship, and it does not replace care from your own physician or the VA. No prescriptions, referrals, or treatment plans are provided.

Articles, condition pages, guides and calculators on this website are general education based on public VA materials and 38 CFR. They are not medical advice for your situation and not a diagnosis. Always speak with a qualified provider about your own health, and never delay care because of something you read here.

Physical nexus letters and records reviews are performed by licensed physicians (M.D./D.O.). Individual Psychological Evaluation Packages are performed by licensed psychologists matched to your state. Each provider reaches their own conclusion. If the evidence does not support a favorable opinion, the provider will say so - opinions are never written to order.

We are not a law firm and not an accredited VA claims representative. We do not file, prepare or prosecute VA claims, and nothing here is legal advice. No one can guarantee that the VA will grant service connection, assign a particular rating, or award any amount of compensation.

This site is not for emergencies. If you are in crisis, call 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line, or call 911.
