Our physicians maintain strong connections with the nation’s top veteran’s disability attorneys, offering high-quality legal advocates for veterans pursuing more difficult disability claims and appeals. In many cases, these legal advocates will front the cost of our nexus letters and medical consulting services, so veterans don’t have to worry about paying fees until they after they collect their VA compensation.
Our physicians provide an honest, objective assessment of your case before you decide to use our nexus letter services, advising you on the best route for your case that will result in the least cost to you.

Our extensive experience with veterans’ claims allows us to direct you to the medical experts that fit best with your specific case, increasing your chances of winning VA compensation.
Many medical consulting firms attempt to be a “Jack of all trades,” going well beyond the scope of their expertise, training, education and even licensure – resulting in veterans receiving fragmented, incomplete, unqualified nexus letters and access letter reviews.
For example, it is common among inexperienced or unqualified firms to assign a psychologist to write a medical opinion linking a veteran’s sleep apnea to military service. Sleep apnea is clearly a condition requiring extensive training in sleep medicine and pulmonary function. Not only did this psychologist go beyond the scope of his training and expertise, but he went beyond the scope of his licensure. Needless to say, the VA denied the veteran’s VA claim for sleep apnea service connection.
At Elite Medical Review Associates, our doctors are renowned for their meticulous research, recognition of all relevant links between service events and disabilities, and diligent nexus letter preparation. By providing strong support for VA claims right from the start, we help our veteran clients avoid months to years of VA appeals for denied claims - preserving valuable time and money.
Veterans seeking service connection and maximum disability ratings need the benefit of a medical consulting firm whose in-house experts can guide you to VA-qualified medical professionals in various specialties that will advocate on your behalf.

- VA claims for illness appearing months or years after military discharge

- Doctor fails to provide enough evidence to support service connection
- Doctor uses incorrect standard of proof in medical nexus opinion
- Doctor uses unclear, inconclusive language in medical nexus opinion
