Nexus Letter Template For Private Dr Or Therapist!

[c&p man]

Read it closely very close and you will see that is more clear than the original va document for a nexus letter. I did some changes on it so that it would be clear as you can see i took out possible and put not and also added a couple of words here and there. Also the old letter was used for VA doctors so i made it for private doctors. Now you can write or use any form to submit to the VA...

In my medical opinion, the currently existing medical condition is

__________ Related to

__________ Not related to

__________At least as likely as not related to

an injury, disease, or event occurring during the veteran's military service.

Present Diagnosis: ________________________________________________________

Injury or event occurring during service (as described by veteran or found in other records provided by veteran):

How much proof do I need on a claim?

VA law requires the "as likely as not" standard. Doctors are used to stating opinions to a medical certainty. That is a much higher burden of proof. Show your doctor the following chart. It may help.

continunum of causation -- burdens of proof

standard ---------- how much --------- context

as likely as not --------- at least 50% ------- verteran claims

more likely as not---------- more than 50% -----civil trials

clear and convincing------ about 75% ----civil juvenile court

to a medical certainty===about 80%------ court doctor opinion

beyond a reasonable doubt----- about 90%----criminal trials

beyond a shadow of a doubt-----100%------ignorant doctors

How to give an opinion for Nexus (relationship to a military incident)?

When asked to give an opinion as to whether a condition is related to a specific incident during military service, the opinion should be expressed as follows:

1. “is due to” (100% sure)

2. “more likely than not” (greater than 50%)

3. “at least as likely as not” (equal to or greater than 50%)

4. “not at least as likely as not” (less than 50%)

5. “is not due to” (0%)"

C&Pman,

Why would you come and alter this form as such ?

You have just made it less advantageous to the veteran.

By removing the word possible - you just destroyed part of

the BOD used in medical evidence.

c&pman,

Do us a favor and don't copy a form - change it to your liking

and then post it. New vets that come on here will think

that's truly how the form was created !

Is a friends testimony the same as a nexus letter? Do they have to put their information on a particular form.

For instance, If I can get in touch with my Medic, He gave me a butt load of Motrin overseas, but I don't think this is in any of my records.. If I got him to write a statement saying that he remembers giving me some medicine for my hurt back overseas. ?
