Why do I need a NEXUS letter?

EXTRA-FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETEAN SHARE OF THE DAY

One of the significant reasons why a disability claim is denied is because of the inability to prove that the medical condition was caused or made worse by the veteran’s time in service.

When filing for your VA Disability claim, the NEXUS is essentially your link between your newfound health condition and your time in service. Without this piece of proof, the VA has no reason to grant your claim.

Often a veteran will submit a claim for a medical condition only to have it denied, and the response by the VA is that the military service did not cause the condition. Unfortunately, this is a situation that occurs quite frequently, but there are ways to defend against this outcome. The best way to do so is by submitting a nexus letter with a claim.
