Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, the podcast where we break down the medical evidence side of VA disability claims.
I’m your host, Leah Bucholz — Army combat veteran, board-certified Physician Assistant, former VA C&P examiner, and founder of Prestige Veteran Medical Consulting.
On this podcast, we discuss nexus letters, DBQs, medical opinions, C&P exams, toxic exposure claims, secondary service connection, and the complex medical issues veterans often face during the VA disability process.
Our goal is to provide educational, evidence-based discussions that help veterans better understand how medical evidence is evaluated within VA claims — while also helping separate medical analysis from legal strategy.
Whether you’re a veteran, advocate, attorney, or simply trying to better understand the process, we’re glad you’re here.
Let’s get into today’s episode.
