Visit the Alabama Department of Veterans AffairsHow remote medical opinions work for Alabama veterans
VA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Alabama veterans are decided under the same federal rules as claims everywhere else - Title 38 of the U.S. Code and the regulations in 38 C.F.R. Part 3 - not under state law.
Under 38 C.F.R. § 3.159, competent medical evidence is evidence from a person qualified through education, training or experience to offer a medical opinion. VA weighs each opinion on the provider's qualifications and the reasoning given, not on whether the provider lives in Alabama.
That is why our licensed physicians (M.D. and D.O.) and clinical psychologists (Psy.D.) can review records and, when an evaluation is involved, meet by secure telehealth with veterans anywhere in Alabama. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Alabama
Missing medical evidence is why most Alabama claims stall.
The VA rarely denies a claim because a veteran is not credible. It denies claims because the file does not contain a medical opinion connecting a current diagnosis to service. That is the gap we close for veterans in Alabama.
