Most vets are told to “get a nexus letter.” But here’s the truth: 38 CFR and M21‑1 don’t define it—and your claim is only as strong as its weakest link. In this video, I break down the 5 core parts of a winning nexus letter and how to align it with 38 CFR rating criteria.

A “nexus letter” isn’t a legal term inside VA rules—it’s a practical tool. Its job is to connect your current diagnosis to either an in‑service event/exposure or an already service‑connected condition (secondary). If the letter doesn’t tie A→B with medical etiology, logic, and citations—and your forms and evidence don’t corroborate it—you’re leaving your rating to chance.

What you’ll learn:

The 5 core components of a strong nexus letter (ID data, claim outline, medical etiology, logic, peer‑reviewed citations)

Why VA raters won’t connect dots for you—and how to make your package irrefutable

How to use a nexus letter for ambiguous service connections (e.g., paratrooper PLFs → herniated disc)

Exposures example (e.g., permethrin‑treated uniforms / FR gear → skin conditions)

Common mistakes: no current diagnosis, weak rationale, vague links, misaligned symptoms

The golden nugget: align your symptoms to 38 CFR schedule criteria (don’t just “hope for a good rating”)

Why your nexus letter must match your filing (VA Form 21‑526EZ for new claims, VA Form 20‑0995 for supplemental)

Resources to prepare your package:

Current diagnosis (medical records)

Buddy letters & witness statements

Photos, line‑of‑duty notes, deployment/exposure evidence

Peer‑reviewed medical literature that supports your linkage
