What Is a Nexus Letter?
A nexus letter is written documentation prepared by a doctor or other medical professional that explains how a medical condition or illness is related to a person’s military service.
How a Nexus Letter Can Help You
A nexus letter can help substantiate a claim for benefits based on an injury or illness sustained while serving in the military. A nexus letter provides medical documentation necessary to identify the type and degree of illness or injury for which a veteran can receive benefits. Having a nexus letter can make the difference between having a disability claim approved or denied.
