Serving veterans across North Carolina, start to finish from home
North Carolina has deep military roots, from Fort Bragg and Fayetteville to Camp Lejeune, MCAS Cherry Point and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. VA disability claims for North Carolina veterans are served by the Winston-Salem VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care is provided through systems based in Durham, Fayetteville, Salisbury and Asheville.
From the mountains to the coast, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not North Carolina. 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.

Visit NC Military and Veterans AffairsHow remote medical opinions work for North Carolina veterans
VA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from North Carolina 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 North Carolina.
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 North Carolina. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in North Carolina
Missing medical evidence is why most North Carolina 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 North Carolina.
