About Mental Health Nexus Letters
Mental Health Nexus Letters is an independent psychology practice that provides the clinical evidence veterans need for VA mental health claims: independent psychological evaluations, completed DBQs, nexus letters, and TDIU letters. Every evaluation is completed and signed by a licensed doctoral psychologist, delivered by secure telehealth, for one flat fee of $850. The practice is based in Gilbert, Arizona and serves veterans in 44 states plus Washington, DC.
How we work. We are a private practice, not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. We do not conduct C&P exams and we do not represent you in your claim; we provide an independent clinical opinion based on your records and your evaluation, using the VA's "at least as likely as not" standard, with the reasoning explained. If the evidence does not support a favorable opinion, we tell you before completing the documentation. Appointments are typically available within one week, and documents are delivered about one week after your evaluation.
Who we work with. Most of our clients are veterans filing a new claim, a secondary claim, a supplemental claim after a denial, or a request for an increased rating. We also work with VA-accredited attorneys, claims agents, therapists, and physicians who refer veterans for an independent psychological evaluation. Referring professionals can email DrB@mentalhealthnexusletters.com for our intake process.
