Nexus Letters for Veterans

A well-supported Nexus Letter explains the medical relationship between a Veteran’s current condition and military service, aggravation, or another service-connected condition.

Clear medical reasoning

What a strong Nexus Letter should do

A Nexus Letter is not simply a form letter. It should reflect your records, diagnosis, history and the clinician’s independent medical reasoning.

  • Review relevant military, VA and civilian medical records
  • Address direct, secondary or aggravation theories when clinically supportable
  • Explain the medical rationale in plain, professional language
  • Reference relevant evidence and literature when appropriate
  • State the provider’s credentials and independent medical opinion

Common situations

Veterans often seek independent medical opinions after a denial, when developing a secondary condition, when evidence of aggravation is important, or when existing medical records do not clearly explain the service connection.

Every case is different. Our clinicians determine what can be medically supported after reviewing the available evidence.
