LEGAL & CLINICAL AUTHORITY

Nurse Practitioner Opinions Carry the Same Evidentiary Weight as a Physician's

Under federal law, an NP’s medical opinion carries the same weight as a physician’s in VA disability claims. This is not a workaround – it is the law.

Federal Law Definition

The VA defines “competent medical evidence” as evidence from any qualified medical professional — NPs are explicitly included under 38 C.F.R. § 3.159(a)(1).

Cannot Be Rejected by Title

The VA cannot reject a medical opinion solely because it was written by an NP instead of an MD. The law is clear on this point.

Reasoning Over Title

The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims confirmed: the value of a medical opinion depends on its reasoning and evidence — not the provider’s title.

(Nieves-Rodriguez v. Peake, 2008)

VA Uses NPs for Official C&P Exams

The VA routinely uses Nurse Practitioners to conduct official Compensation & Pension (C&P) disability examinations — the very exams used to rate veterans’ claims.

Every opinion prepared by David Protaziuk, FNP-C meets the VA’s legal standard for competent medical evidence — the same standard applied to physician opinions.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Honest answers to the most common questions from veterans.

How do I know which service I need?

Start with the Free Case Review — I’ll personally assess your records and recommend exactly what your claim needs. Quick guide: Nexus Letter ($499) for new claims or denials, DBQ ($249) for documenting severity, TDIU Opinion ($499) if conditions prevent employment, A&A ($499) if you need help with daily activities.

How does the 50% off multi-item discount work?

The first item in your cart is full price. Every additional item is 50% off its regular price.

Examples:

2 Nexus Letters = $499 + $249.50 = $748.50 (save $249.50)

1 Nexus + 1 DBQ = $499 + $124.50 = $623.50 (save $124.50)

1 Nexus + 1 TDIU + 1 DBQ = $499 + $249.50 + $124.50 = $873 (save $373.50)

The cart auto-applies at checkout.

Do you guarantee VA approval?

No medical provider can guarantee a VA outcome — be skeptical of anyone who claims otherwise. What I guarantee is the quality of the medical opinion: VA-compliant rationale, accurate clinical analysis, signed by a board-certified provider. If the VA denies citing my opinion, I’ll write a free rebuttal.

What's the difference between a Nexus Letter and a DBQ?

Nexus Letter establishes the link between your condition and military service — required for service connection. DBQ documents the severity of a condition — used by VA raters to determine your disability percentage. Many veterans benefit from both, bundled at 50% off the second item.

Is an in-person exam required?

No. My opinions are records-based — I work entirely from your medical and service records. This is the standard for independent medical opinions and is fully accepted by the VA.

How long does it take?

Typical turnaround is 24 hours after I receive complete records. Complex multi-condition claims may take 48–72 hours. If you’re up against a VA deadline, mention it in your email — I prioritize time-sensitive cases.

Can a Nurse Practitioner's opinion be rejected by the VA?

No — under 38 C.F.R. § 3.159(a)(1), an NP’s medical opinion carries the same evidentiary weight as a physician’s. The VA cannot reject an opinion based on title — only on the quality of reasoning. (Nieves-Rodriguez v. Peake, 2008) The VA itself uses NPs for official C&P examinations.

Where do I send my records after payment?

After checkout you’ll receive an email with a HIPAA-secure upload link. You can also reply directly to that email with records attached. Send everything in one batch when possible — it speeds up the review.

Do you offer refunds?

If after reviewing your records I determine I cannot honestly write a favorable opinion, I’ll notify you before any document is prepared and refund your payment in full. You only pay for opinions that are actually written.

Are you affiliated with the VA?

No. I am an independent medical provider, not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The opinions I write are independent medical evidence that you submit to the VA in support of your own claim.
