Serving veterans across South Carolina, start to finish from home

South Carolina has a large military and veteran community anchored by Fort Jackson in Columbia, Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter, Joint Base Charleston and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort with Parris Island nearby. VA disability claims for South Carolina veterans are served by the Columbia VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care runs through systems based in Columbia and Charleston.

Wherever you live in South Carolina, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not South 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. Call (844) 368-2757 to discuss your medical evidence.

How remote medical opinions work for South Carolina veterans

VA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from South 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 South 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 South Carolina. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.

Serving veterans in South Carolina

Missing medical evidence is why most South 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 South Carolina.
