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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
