To determine whether a link between your condition and your military services or a previous service-connected condition is medically reasonable, your Nexus Letter physician thoroughly reviews all documents you provide. If this record review does not support a connection, your nexus letter request will be canceled; you will be charged only for the time spent in reviewing your documents.

After reviewing your records and discussing your case with you, your Nexus Letter physician analyzes current medical literature, clinical studies, and relevant case law for information related to your condition.

The formal VA medical opinion letter is based on facts gathered from review of records, relevant research studies, and case law.
