What these denials mean:
This denial confirms that you have a mental disorder. Your claim was denied because there wasn't evidence of a nexus, or connection, between your mental disorder and your SC-disability.
You can still get service-connection for a mental disorder, if:
There is evidence available, but it wasn't obvious enough to stand out or easy enough to find. That's when I would sift through all the records. If there is evidence I can use, then I can write a helpful nexus letter.
How?
Phase 1: We start with a Records Review and Medical Literature Review. If there is not enough evidence to support a positive opinion, this would conclude our process.
Phase 2: If there is evidence of a medical link, you could choose to move forward with a formal Nexus Letter.
