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 episode, Leah emphasizes the importance for veterans to seek assistance from accredited agents, attorneys, or Veteran Service Officers (VSOs) when filing VA disability claims. She points out that every county has a VSO, which is a free resource for veterans to help with initial claims or appeals. While VSOs vary in quality, veterans are not limited to those in their county and can find one that suits their needs. Additionally, Leah highlights that accredited agents and attorneys, unlike VSOs, usually charge a fee for their services, which is regulated by law. These professionals, who have undergone specific training, mainly assist with appeals rather than initial claims. Leah advises veterans to use va.gov to search for and verify the accreditation of agents and VSOs.
