Nexus Letter Template For Private Dr Or Therapist!

Rate this question


c&p man

Question

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):

________________________________________________________________________________

_______________

________________________________________________________________________________

_______________

________________________________________________________________________________

________________

____________________________________________

Signed: Physician/PA/FNP Date__________________________________

I understand that the following diagnosis, opinions and statements are not official VA decisions regarding whether I will receive other VA benefits or, if I receive VA benefits, their amount. They may, however, be considered with other evidence when these decisions are made at a VA Regional Office that specializes in benefit decision

Signature of veteran Date _____________________________________________________

Signature and Title of Practitioner Date _________________________________________

Just a question is there a problem bringing an old thread back to life especially if there seem to be interest in it? And by the way Aletta you didn't reopen this thread there was four post before you and one after!

Boredom is a state of the imagination, as long as you have the ability to think, you will always have something to do !!

I see nothing wrong with bringing up older posts...

cssamo,

Your question in reopening this topic,

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

was answered.

This topic's last reply prior to being reopened was June 2009, four years ago.

With VA benefits - lots of changes can happen over a four year period.

The topic relates to

Nexus Letter Template For Private Dr Or Therapist!

The original topic contains poor information - someone took a form and changed it to

their liking - which was not in the best interest of veterans obtaining va benefits.

x0 and aletta have provided solid answers to your question on a friends testimony,

ie: buddy letters.

This topic is closed, you are welcome to start a new topic if you would like to.

Thanks.

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
