Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.
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.
In the video Leah discusses the relevance of military occupational specialties (MOS) to VA disability claims, particularly focusing on combat medics. She shares her own journey from being a combat medic deployed with the 82nd Airborne Division to deciding to become a physician assistant influenced by her experiences and mentors. Leah introduces the MOS smartbook, explaining how it helps in assessing whether personnel can still perform their duties and how these duties, especially those demanding physical tasks like carrying heavy loads or performing medical procedures under stress, can be linked to service-related health conditions. She emphasizes the value of understanding one's MOS requirements when filing for VA disability claims, aiming to assist veterans in navigating their rights and potential claims.
