Question
TMannfish
Hi, I'm new here. I just completed my VA appeal in front of the law judge last week. I'm 90% on a service connected back injury, trying to get IU and a new rating for PTSD. The judge seemed to be satisfied with the new evidence on my back injury, but she requested a Nexus letter for the PTSD. Unfortunately my VA psychiatrist left in 2017 so I have an appointment to meet with my VA primary care MD this coming week to see if he will give me at least a Nexus statement stating " more likely than not " that my PTSD is due to my combat history.
With so much emphasis being put on this Nexus statement, I also had my neurosurgeon add to his last supporting letter for my appeal the statement " more likely than not " that my chronic spine condition is related to my service connected injury to better my chances on IU.
My question is this... Since I have only a statement and not the Nexus letter format, will this still be acceptable with the VA law judge??
Thanks for any thoughts...
