Nexus Letters and DBQs

At Essential Veteran Services, we provide mental health evaluations that are specifically designed for VA requirements. These evaluations document the impact of military service on mental health and are a critical step in supporting Disability Benefits Questionnaires and securing Nexus Letters. For many veterans, this process is what connects their lived experiences to the benefits they have earned. What sets us apart is the quality and care behind every evaluation. We combine clinical expertise with a deep understanding of service culture and trauma, ensuring each report is clear, detailed, and respected by the VA. Our work is more than paperwork; it is recognition of the sacrifices you made and the challenges you continue to face.

Rebuttal Letters

We know how discouraging it is when a mental health claim is denied. If that happens, you are not left on your own. We provide rebuttal letters at no extra cost and continue to stand with you, making sure your story is heard and your service is recognized. Rebuttal letters are only available to veterans who have previously completed an evaluation through Essential Veteran Services. To request a rebuttal, please email us to schedule. Once scheduled, you will receive a secure link to upload your VA denial letter for review before the rebuttal is written.

About Us

Dr. Sheena Glover is an Air Force veteran and licensed psychologist who knows the culture of service from the inside. Like many who served, she understands how asking for help can feel like weakness or letting down the team. That perspective shapes how she shows up for every veteran she works with, never as a distant evaluator, but as someone who has walked a similar path.


For more than a decade, Dr. Glover has dedicated her career to trauma-focused care, specializing in military sexual trauma (MST) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With over five years of experience conducting VA mental health evaluations, she brings both clinical expertise and personal understanding to every claim.


As the founder of Essential Veteran Services, Dr. Glover’s priority is advocacy. Every evaluation, Disability Benefits Questionnaire, and Nexus Letter is approached with care and respect, ensuring veterans are not left to face the claims process alone. Her commitment is simple: your story matters, and you deserve to be heard.


When you click ‘Start My Evaluation & Nexus Letter,’ you’re working directly with someone who’s walked those boots. Let’s make your claim speak as loudly as your service did.

FAQ

What should I bring to my evaluation?

Before your appointment, you will receive an intake form to fill out. If you are collaborating with a coach, please coordinate with them to ensure that any supporting documents, such as the Disability Benefits Questionnaire or Nexus Letters, are uploaded into your secure client portal before your session. This is especially important for obtaining an independent medical opinion related to your service connected issues. On the day of your appointment, the only item you need to bring is a valid form of ID, which is essential for accessing veteran services.

Can I do my appointment virtually?

Yes. All appointments for an independent medical opinion are conducted virtually. Prior to your scheduled evaluation, you will receive a secure video link. This evaluation may also include discussions on Nexus Letters related to your service connected claims and veteran services, as well as the Disability Benefits Questionnaire.

What is the cost of the evaluation?

The total cost for the evaluation, which includes the necessary Disability Benefits Questionnaire and Nexus Letters, is $750.  A deposit of $150 will be charged to your card when you make the appointment. The remaining balance is due 24 hours prior to secure an independent medical opinion. Additionally, we provide rebuttal letters at no extra cost, ensuring you receive comprehensive support for your service-connected claims through our veteran services.

Start My Evaluation & Nexus Letter

How long does it take to receive my Nexus Letter and DBQ?

You will receive your Nexus Letters and the Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) within 36 to 48 hours after your independent medical opinion evaluation is completed, ensuring that your service-connected claims are accurately documented for veteran services.

What States can I receive a mental health evaluation?

Dr. Glover participates in PSYPACT, which enables her to conduct mental health evaluations across 43 US States, a crucial step for completing the Disability Benefits Questionnaire. This independent medical opinion can significantly aid veterans in securing Nexus Letters for their service-connected claims. To learn more, please visit the official PSYPACT website.
