Independent medical opinions from licensed providers, for veterans in Pennsylvania. We offer records reviews, nexus letters, and independent psychological evaluations - all secure, remote, and flat fee, with a free phone discussion before you choose.
Local service options
Pennsylvania has one of the largest veteran populations in the nation, with deep military roots from the Pennsylvania National Guard to Carlisle Barracks, the Philadelphia naval shipyard area and Tobyhanna Army Depot. VA disability claims for Pennsylvania veterans are served by the Philadelphia VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care is provided through systems based in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Coatesville, Lebanon, Wilkes-Barre and Erie.
Wherever you live in Pennsylvania, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not Pennsylvania. 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.

The Philadelphia VA Regional Benefit Office serves veterans across Pennsylvania with benefits information and in-person help.
See the Philadelphia Regional Benefit OfficeThe Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs supports the state's roughly 700,000 veterans with state programs, veterans homes and county directors of veterans affairs.
Visit PA DMVA Veterans AffairsVA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania.
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 Pennsylvania. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Pennsylvania
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 Pennsylvania.
