Getting VA Disability Benefits in Bradford, Vermont

VA grants disability compensation to veterans who have evidence of these three things:

  • An in-service event, injury, or illness;
  • A current diagnosis of a disabling condition by a medical professional; and
  • A nexus, or link, between the in-service event and current disability.

Establishing a nexus is essential as it ties your claim together.  You may be required to attend a Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam to obtain a nexus opinion.  You can also ask your private physician to write a nexus letter to include with your claim.
