The nexus, or connection, between your current disability and in service event can be challenging to prove.
A strong case often requires a solid Nexus statement, also known as independent medical opinion (IMO) or an independent medical evaluation (IME). A Nexus statement is a professionally detailed report written by a neutral third-party doctor or medical professional who is well versed in VA terminology and claim requirements. As a standard for Patriot Benefit Consulting, we strictly work with well-versed, highly trained doctors who specialize in these areas. Simply put, a doctor’s analysis (much like an attorney’s analysis) holds more weight than that of other medical professionals, resulting in a strong document to support your service connection.
