What Does Claim Climbers Do?
At Claim Climbers, you’re not just another client; you’re a hero, and we treat you as such. Our team includes veterans, team members with direct experience of VA rating work, records specialists, and the licensed providers who review and sign the letters. We know firsthand the complexities of the VA system. We specialize in crafting Nexus Letters that connect your time in service to your health conditions with solid medical evidence to strengthen your VA disability claims.
How long does the process take?
We are proud to offer a fast turnaround with no expediting fee. After you upload your records, our expert team will review them in an average 3-5 business days. Once your review is complete, we will send you a Nexus Eligibility List, which shows the conditions your records could support with a nexus letter, based on what our records specialists and licensed providers found in your file. Once you order the nexus letters for the conditions you choose, they will be delivered to you in 7-10 business days.
Can you guarantee an increase in my disability benefits?
No, the decision lies with Veterans Affairs. Our commitment is to ensure thorough, well-documented evidence for the conditions you have related to your time in service, but we cannot guarantee changes to your rating or benefits. However, our providers only write letters for conditions the records can support, and the medical reasoning is spelled out in the letter. The VA decides service connection.
Can Claim Climbers help me if my claim has already been denied?
Absolutely. Claim Climbers specializes in providing nexus letters that include the documented medical evidence you need to support an appeal for your claim.

With Claim Climbers, you have a steadfast partner in securing the benefits you’ve rightfully earned.
Nexus Letters
What is a Nexus Letter?
A Nexus Letter is essential for VA disability claims, linking a veteran’s service to their disability. Written by a medical professional, it offers evidence that a veteran’s condition is connected to their military service, boosting the chance of claim approval. Claim Climbers prioritizes the crafting of precise Nexus Letters, crucial for acknowledging veterans’ service and securing their benefits.
Why do I need a nexus letter for my VA claim?
A nexus letter is medical evidence of the link between a condition and service. It is not required in every claim, and no evidence guarantees an approval. It gives the rater the medical reasoning in a form they can follow.
What Sets Your Letters Apart?
What makes our service uniquely effective is our team. Our team includes veterans, team members with direct experience of VA rating work, records specialists, and the licensed providers who review and sign the letters. This combination of firsthand VA system experience and in-depth knowledge of VA regulations enables us to produce Nexus Letters that are both detailed and precise. Many nexus letter companies use cookie-cutter templates for their letters where every letter we craft is tailor-made to support each of our clients’ specific needs.
Is a Nexus Letter Always Necessary?
Not always, but a Nexus Letter can significantly strengthen your VA claim in certain situations, such as seeking benefit increases or linking multiple conditions. It serves as critical evidence to prove the connection between your service and medical condition.
What exactly does a nexus letter from Claim Climbers include?
Not all nexus letters are the same. We go above and beyond to personalize your letter and make it as strong as possible. A nexus letter from Claim Climbers includes a detailed analysis linking your medical condition directly to your military service, based on evidence from your service records and medical history. We build in a pathophysiological connection of your condition, as well as medical literature and citations, and VA case law precedence. This comprehensive document is prepared by experienced medical professionals familiar with VA claims.
How long does it take to receive a nexus letter from Claim Climbers?
After submitting your documents, it takes about 2-3 days to review your records. Once you approve the conditions to be included, it takes about 7-10 business days to receive your nexus letter. We turn them around as fast as possible and don’t charge an expediting fee. If you have a deadline upcoming, contact us as soon as possible and we will do what we can to take care of you.
Can Claim Climbers expedite the process of obtaining a nexus letter if my claim is urgent?
We understand the urgency of some claims and offer expedited services when possible. Please let us know your specific needs and we will do our best to accommodate.
What does "at least as likely as not connected" mean?
This is a standard phrase used in VA disability claims to determine the probability that a veteran’s current medical condition is related to their military service. It means there is a 50% or greater likelihood that the condition is service-connected. This standard is crucial because it represents the threshold for proving a service connection.
Pricing
What is the price of your nexus letters?
Our nexus letters are provider-signed, thoroughly researched, and personalized to your records, at a low flat rate price. Nexus letters start at $795, but we offer quantity-based discounts if you need more than one. The more letters you purchase, the less expensive they become.
Will Claim Climbers take a portion of my benefits increase?
Absolutely not. Claim Climbers believes in transparent pricing without taking any commission or portion of your benefits increase. Our fees are a flat rate and communicated upfront, ensuring that all future benefits increases remain entirely yours.

Is The Cost Worth The Investment?
Our benefits calculator uses the VA’s published rating tables so you can see how ratings translate to monthly compensation. Check out our calculator. What the VA assigns is the VA’s decision.
Submitting A Claim
Can You File VA Claims For Me?
While we prepare provider-signed, thoroughly researched nexus letters, we don’t act as VA representatives. For assistance with filing your claim, it’s best to connect with your Veterans Service Organization (VSO) or an accredited claims agent.
Can I use a VSO to submit my claim?
Yes. The medical evidence acquired through Claim Climbers can be submitted via a Veteran Service Organization, filing electronically on the VA.gov website or, mailing your claim to the VA.
Can I use Claim Climbers' services even if I already have a lawyer or accredited agent?
Absolutely. Claim Climbers focuses on securing accurate medical evidence by connecting you with medical professionals, complementing the efforts of your agent or attorney who manage the documentation and filing aspects of your case. Since accredited professionals are not permitted to offer medical advice or complete Disability Benefit Questionnaires, our services are designed to work in harmony with theirs, ensuring no overlap or conflict.
What should I do if my Intent to File deadline is approaching or I have a tight document submission timeline?
While we strive to accommodate urgent requests, we cannot guarantee deadline fulfillment. If you’re concerned about meeting a deadline, we urge you to contact us as soon as possible and we will do what we can to help.
Do you assist with obtaining service treatment records?
Unfortunately, we cannot directly assist in obtaining service treatment records from the VA. We provide medical evidence to help strengthen your claims but do not communicate with the VA on your behalf.
