Mental Health Evaluation

Mental Health Evaluation: Provides an expert medical opinion on the severity of your disabling mental health condition and whether or not it is service-connected. This type of review is beneficial to winning your claim. The VA can make a decision even without an independent medical review, but the claim is much less likely to be awarded without the medical evidence and/or opinion of a trained Health Care Professional.

It is extremely important to provide as much evidence of your current disability as possible when filing your VA claim. One of the most common reasons a claim is denied is due to a lack of evidence to support your claim.
