Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.
Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM.

Leah discusses an important update to GI Bill benefits following a recent Supreme Court decision. The new policy allows eligible veterans to access up to 48 months of combined education benefits, an increase from the previous 36-month limit, provided they meet specific criteria, such as serving multiple periods of service or paying into the Montgomery GI Bill. Leah walks viewers through the application process, key changes, and how these expanded benefits can be used by veterans or transferred to their dependents. She highlights the importance of applying by the October 1, 2030 deadline and invites viewers to engage with her for more information on education benefits.
