Local service options
Ohio is home to roughly 700,000 veterans, with military communities anchored by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, Camp Perry and more. VA disability claims for Ohio veterans are served by the Cleveland VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care is provided through systems based in Cleveland, Columbus, Chillicothe, Cincinnati and Dayton.
Wherever you live in Ohio, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not Ohio. 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 Ohio Veterans ServicesVA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Ohio 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 Ohio.
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 Ohio. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Ohio
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 Ohio.
