  • Summary

  • 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.

    In this episode, Leah discusses osteoporosis and its potential connection to Veterans Affairs (VA) disability benefits. She explains that osteoporosis, which weakens bones and increases fracture risk, can be linked to military service either directly or as a secondary condition caused by another service-connected disability. Leah highlights the risk factors and symptoms of osteoporosis and mentions that certain medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), can contribute to its development. She also outlines how veterans diagnosed with osteoporosis during or after service may qualify for VA disability ratings, particularly if they experience incapacitating episodes or significant bone damage.
