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.
Leah discusses recent concerns regarding the quality of veteran compensation and pension (C&P) exams. Drawing from a military.com article featuring comments from Senator Elizabeth Warren, Leah highlights issues such as examiners not reviewing veterans' service records, inappropriate locations for exams, and rushed assessments. She explains that these exams are often crucial for adjudicators in determining if a veteran's disability is service-connected and the degree of disability. Despite the challenges, Leah points out that there are dedicated and skilled examiners, urging veterans to seek legal advice if they experience a poor exam outcome.
