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.
In this video Leah shares insights on what to expect during a Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam for heart or cardiac conditions for VA disability claims. She emphasizes that understanding the process can alleviate anxieties veterans may have. Information about the exam is available on the VA website, where veterans can download the Disability Benefit Questionnaire to review or have filled out by their doctor, potentially aiding their VA claim. Leah highlights that the exam can assess heart conditions on a primary or secondary basis, including conditions caused or aggravated by service. The process involves receiving a packet with details about the provider conducting the evaluation, which could be a variety of healthcare professionals, not necessarily a cardiologist.
