If you’ve attended a C&P exam, then it’s no mystery the examiner spent as little time as possible on your file, and probably ignored a lot of evidence.

Thankfully, veterans can obtain their own medical opinion that rebuts bad exams and resubmit the claim to the VA, all while preserving your backpay. This results in a faster approval, getting you the benefits you deserve, without waiting years to go before a judge.

There are now hundreds of companies claiming to offer nexus opinions. Many are not qualified, or will send you a boiler plate report, while charging hundreds if not thousands of dollars. We only work with well qualified experts who offer opinions specific to your case, not a boiler plate template.

Talk with us today to see if a nexus opinion is right for your case.

The VA claims system is “non-adversarial”, meaning the VA has to consider any statements you submit in support of your claim, so long as there is not evidence to the contrary. Submitting new statements can help verify an injury, exposure to toxins, the severity of a disability, or verify you have suffered from an injury since it occurred on active-duty. Statements from yourself, your spouse, friends, and people you served with can all be valuable for a supplemental claim.

A supplemental claim is also appropriate when the VA did not consider a specific theory of entitlement. For example, you originally filed a claim for bi-lateral knee pain on a direct basis, which the VA denied. However, if you are service-connected for a back injury, there is likely a strong case for secondary service-connection.

Another example is filing an OSA claim as secondary to PTSD, when your service records have complaints of daytime drowsiness and note you are mildly obese. A supplemental claim on a direct basis would be helpful in this example.

Supplemental claims aren't only for service-connection claims. When filing a claim for an increased rating, the VA will send you to a new C&P exam. One that likely will not be thorough, where the examiner hardly reads your records. Obtaining your own exam and submitting it as a supplemental claim would be a great option. We coordinate private exams for you and submit the supplemental claim to the VA.
