Denied Claims

Your claim was denied. Here's how a rebuttal nexus letter can change that.

A denial usually points to a specific weakness — a missing nexus, a weak C&P exam, or a rationale that ignored key evidence. A rebuttal nexus letter answers the VA's language head-on.

Why claims get denied

Common denial rationales — and how we rebut them

Most denials aren't about whether your condition is real — they're about whether the medical evidence uses the framework the VA expects. A rebuttal letter closes that gap.

Denial rationales we regularly rebut

  • "No nexus of record" — we provide the missing medical opinion
  • "Less likely than not related to service" — we address the specific reasoning
  • "Insufficient in-service evidence" — we cite the STRs the C&P exam missed
  • "Post-service intervening cause" — we explain why the mechanism still traces to service
  • "Condition not diagnosed" — we clarify diagnosis and DSM/ICD criteria
