Nexus statement question

[C141Mech]

A Ph.D. organic chemist (does medicinal research), offered to write a nexus statement for my husband who was just diagnosed with Parkinson's with Dementia. My husband spent 16 years at Norton AFB, six of those years were spent working at the source of the TCE plume and for another 7 years his office was primarily in that building. He also pointed out his hearing range deficit appeared to be a known side effect of chronic TCE exposure and not jet engine damage. Currently my husband is SC for hearing with a 0% rating although they did provide hearing aids that do not work well.

I have plans to get a neurotoxicologist to write a nexus statement, can you have nexus statements from several people? He is working on getting a buddy statement from a friend or two who worked in the same duty station to attest to their direct use of TCE.

Thank you,

Annie

A "nexus" statement needs to be made by "competent medical personel".  This means they have training and or experience in diagnosing or treating your particular kind of illness/issue.  

I do not know your friends resume or CV, so I dont know if he or she is a competent medical examiner or not.  

Normally, multiple nexus statements are unnecessary.  Just one, unless its in dispute by VA.
