Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.
Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM.

Leah explores the complex relationships between tinnitus and various conditions in the context of VA disability. She emphasizes the individuality of each case, cautioning that the presence of tinnitus doesn't guarantee a causal link to other conditions like depression, anxiety, or migraines. Leab provides a comprehensive overview of tinnitus, describing it as a common issue characterized by ringing or other internal noises in the ears, often associated with acoustic noise exposure among veterans. She details the secondary conditions frequently connected with tinnitus on a service-connected basis, including migraines, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. She discusses the concept of tinnitus as an intermediate step, potentially leading to other medical conditions indirectly.
