Veteran Disability Evaluation & Nexus Letters
An independent veteran disability evaluation is a comprehensive psychological assessment conducted by a licensed clinician outside the VA system to support your disability claim. It includes a thorough clinical interview, detailed review of your military and medical history, and a professional report documenting your mental health condition and its connection to your service.
The report follows VA formatting standards and includes a nexus opinion explaining how your condition is linked to your military experiences. Veterans use these independent evaluations to initiate new claims, seek rating increases, document secondary conditions, or strengthen appeals.
Why it matters who evaluates you: Dr. Jureller has worked as a contractor for the VA conducting Disability Benefit Questionnaires (DBQs) and disability evaluations which are the exact examinations your claim will be measured against. Dr. Jureller knows firsthand what determines a rating and the wording that establishes service connection. Combined with his service as an Army psychologist, Dr. Jureller understands both the military experiences behind your condition and the documentation standards that decide your claim.
