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 this video, Leah explains the relationship between melanoma and VA disability. She discusses melanoma as a type of skin cancer often found in veterans, which can manifest during or years after active duty due to exposure to ultraviolet light. The recent Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act classifies melanoma among the presumptive conditions for veterans exposed to environmental toxins during service, particularly in Gulf War areas. Several studies have shown higher skin cancer rates, including melanoma, among military personnel compared to the general population, particularly those who served in equatorial or sunny climates.
