Serving veterans across Mississippi, start to finish from home
Mississippi has a proud military tradition, from Keesler Air Force Base on the Gulf Coast and Naval Construction Battalion Center Gulfport to Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg. VA disability claims for Mississippi veterans are served by the Jackson VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care runs through the Jackson medical center and the Gulf Coast system in Biloxi.
Wherever you live in Mississippi, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not Mississippi. A free phone discussion, secure record upload and telehealth when an evaluation is involved let us serve veterans across the state without a trip to our office. Call (844) 368-2757 to discuss your medical evidence.

Visit the Mississippi State Department of Veterans ServicesHow remote medical opinions work for Mississippi veterans
VA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Mississippi 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 Mississippi.
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 Mississippi. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Mississippi
Missing medical evidence is why most Mississippi 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 Mississippi.
