1 Moderator broncovet Posted October 9, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2019 Your nexus letter "may" help, provided that: 1. The opinion is from a doctor with a specialty in the field you are seeking. 2. The doctor is familiar with VA, and put it in the format, "its as least as likely as not your condition is related to an event which is documented in service. 3. The doctor also submitted his CV to demonstrate expertise in the field, said that he reviewed your records, and provided a medical rationale for his opinion. 4. Of course, this presumes you have a diagnosis, and an event in service documented. If you mean YOU wrote the letter, you just wasted ink and paper, UNLESS you are a medical professional, with an advanced degree and experience in the field.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted October 9, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2019 To answer your other question, yes, a few have gotten decisions under 125 days, but most Vets with benefits have taken an average of 5 years or more to get them.

0 vetquest Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 @Ami2003, it would help if you could give us more information. Redact and post your nexus letter and your last decision if you are willing. Then we can help you much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ami2003 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Filed a claim in Nov 2018. Was denied in June 2019. I did not have a nexus letter first time filing. Filed a supplemental claim in Sept 2019 and sent a nexus letter this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted October 9, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 9, 2019 Ami We need facts; you can't get any advise if you don't tell us what you are trying to do, what you did before, what did your denial letter say, is your disability documented in your str's, etc. Redact/remove your name,ssn, address, etc. off what you have for us to help you with. We just can't help you without knowing the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
