I tried several groups offering assistance filing a VA claim. Some were no shows or help, some were spaghetti throwers (seeing what would stick to the wall) and then I found Semper Solutus. Game changer! We put together a complete package, including medical records, statements, evidence, and had it filed in two weeks. Yes, it took effort on my part, but they provided the guidance and oversight and walked me through the process.

Verified Google ReviewWhat the Program Includes
A Full-Service Program, Not Just a Letter
Most services hand you a single document and walk away. The Nexus Program stays with you: expert medical evidence, a veteran-led team, education, and follow-through until your claim is where it should be.
VIP, Veteran-Guided Process
A dedicated, all-veteran human staff walks with you through every phase, from gathering records to understanding your next move. You always know where your case stands and who to call.

Independent medical nexus opinions crafted by a former military MD for every condition on your claim, using the VA’s “at least as likely as not” standard. Psychological evaluations by licensed clinicians when your case needs them.
Education That Prepares You
Educational sessions explain how the VA evaluates your conditions, how to prepare for C&P exams, and how to move your claim forward with confidence, so you are never guessing.
Multiple Rounds as Needed
VA decisions are not always the end. If you face a denial, an under-rating, a back-pay issue, or an administrative ruling, you come back through the program for another round of evidence.
How It Works

Expert Opinions for ALL Your Conditions

Educational Sessions
We prepare you for a successful claim: how the VA evaluates your conditions, what to expect at C&P exams, and how to file and follow through with confidence.
Multiple Rounds as Needed
If the VA issues a denial, an under-rating, a back-pay issue, or an administrative ruling, you go through the program again with new evidence aimed at that decision.
Claims We Support
Wherever You Are in the VA Process, We Can Help
Whether you're filing for the first time or fighting a denial, the Nexus Program provides tailored medical evidence for your specific claim type.
Initial VA Disability Claims
Filing your first claim? A nexus letter submitted from the start establishes the medical connection before a C&P exam is even scheduled β putting your case in the strongest possible position.
Supplemental Claims After Denial
A denied claim is not the end. An MD-authored nexus letter is one of the most impactful pieces of new and relevant evidence you can submit to overturn a previous denial.
Secondary Service Connection
Claiming a condition caused or worsened by an existing service-connected disability? Sleep apnea secondary to PTSD, depression secondary to chronic pain β we document the medical relationship.
Appeals (HLR & Board)
Whether you're filing a Higher-Level Review or appealing to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, an independent nexus letter can challenge an unfavorable C&P exam or fill critical gaps in your record.
PACT Act & Toxic Exposure
Exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, or other toxic substances during service? A nexus letter connects your current condition β cancer, respiratory illness, or other disease β to documented in-service exposures.
Rating Increase Claims
Has your condition worsened since your last rating? A nexus letter or updated medical opinion documents the progression and supports your request for an increased disability rating.
Understanding VA Denials
Why VA Claims Get Denied β and How We Fix It
Most denials happen because of missing or weak evidence, not because veterans don't deserve benefits. Here's what goes wrong and how the Nexus Program addresses each gap.
The VA requires a medical opinion stating your condition is "at least as likely as not" connected to military service. Without this, even well-documented conditions get denied. A nexus letter provides exactly this β a licensed MD's professional opinion establishing the link using the specific language VA raters require.
Sometimes the VA determines there isn't enough documentation to support service connection. A nexus letter strengthens your file by adding an independent medical opinion that analyzes your records, cites relevant medical literature, and provides clinical rationale for why your condition is service-connected.
C&P exams are sometimes brief, and the examiner may not fully address how your condition relates to service. An independent nexus letter from a licensed MD can provide a contrary opinion β reviewing the same evidence but reaching a well-supported conclusion that the VA is legally required to consider.
Many service-connected conditions don't manifest immediately. Tinnitus, sleep apnea, PTSD, and toxic exposure-related illnesses can appear years after discharge. A nexus letter explains the medical reasoning for delayed onset, citing peer-reviewed research that connects the condition to in-service events.
Secondary claims require evidence that a new condition was caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability. A nexus letter for secondary conditions documents the medical relationship β for example, depression caused by chronic pain from a service-connected back injury β giving the VA the clinical rationale they need.
We work with some of the largest VA disability law firms, accredited agents, and VA disability companies who refer veterans to us.
When a veteran comes to us directly, they get the same MD-authored, records-based medical documentation that the country's most experienced VA disability professionals already trust to support their clients' claims. No templates. No shortcuts. Every nexus letter is built on a thorough review of your service treatment records, post-service medical history, and current diagnosis.
MD-Authored Letters
Your nexus letter is reviewed and signed by a licensed physician using the VA's “at least as likely as not” standard.
Full Records Review
STRs, civilian and VA medical records, imaging, and prior C&P findings are reviewed before any opinion is written.
Revision Guarantee
If your letter needs adjustment after delivery, we revise it. Veterans and their representatives never pay extra for a clarification.

Yes. The Nexus Program provides nexus letters for PTSD and other mental health conditions related to military service. Our team includes licensed clinical psychologists who specialize in evaluating trauma-related conditions. A PTSD nexus letter requires documentation of an in-service stressor and a current diagnosis, which our team thoroughly reviews before drafting the opinion.
No medical document can guarantee approval. However, a well-written nexus letter from a licensed MD is one of the strongest pieces of evidence you can submit. It directly addresses the medical nexus requirement β the most common reason claims are denied β and significantly improves your chances of a favorable decision.
Our medical team needs your service treatment records (STRs), VA medical records, any private treatment records related to the claimed condition, diagnostic imaging or test results, and your DD-214. The more complete your records, the stronger the medical opinion. If you're missing records, we can discuss options during your free consultation.
Yes. If your claim was denied after a C&P exam, a nexus letter serves as new and relevant evidence for a supplemental claim. Our physicians review the C&P exam findings alongside your full medical history and can provide a contrary opinion when the evidence supports service connection. Many veterans successfully overturn denials this way.
A letter service hands you one document and you are on your own. The Nexus Program is a full-service program: a veteran-led team guides you, a former military MD crafts independent medical opinions for all of your conditions, educational sessions prepare you for your claim, and you can return for more rounds if the VA denies or under-rates you. It is backed by the same medical team that VA disability firms and accredited agents rely on nationwide.
