I received a VA rating early last year for tinnitus and hearing loss. I recently started another claim for back pain, PES Planus(flat feet) and a ankle injury. I have proof in my service medical chart of a back injury on 2 occasion. Plus during the second visit it's document that my pain was continuous for the previous 6 months.
The arch of my feet were recorded as normal during my first enlistment. When I reenlisted in the Army after being out of USMC for 4 months i recieced a entrance medical exam. In that entrance medical exam it's documented that i have flat feet.
Lastly my ankle injury was documented in my service medical records.
What is the opinion of getting a Nexus letter with so much proof in my service medical records. Get a Nexus, YES, or NO.

Look at it this way, when a veteran files a claim, VA is supposed to schedule him/her a C & P exam. That C & P exam will basically say if the condition is military related or not. Even thoug

I agree with the advise given also. Based on what info you have provided, it should not be too difficult to get a nexus letter from your doc. You could submit and take a shot without it. In all probab
