SERVICES
Mental health evaluations, reports, and reviews built around the right question.
Six focused ways to evaluate, document, or better understand the clinical evidence in a VA mental health claim.
01 / WAYS WE CAN HELP
One practice. Six focused options.
VA Nexus Psych provides mental health evaluations, reports, records reviews, and professional consultation for VA disability claims.
The best fit depends on the question your claim needs answered and the records available. You do not have to choose it alone.
Dr. Bell personally reviews your records, conducts each evaluation, and writes every report or opinion he signs. VANP is self-pay and does not take insurance. The veteran or their representative submits the report to VA. The practice does not automatically file a claim and does not guarantee a claim outcome.
EVERY OPTION FOLLOWS THE SAME STANDARDS
02 / SIX OPTIONS
Six options. Each built for a clear question.
Some questions need a full evaluation. Others may need a report, a records review, or professional consultation.
Evaluations
Independent psychological evaluations
A full mental health evaluation built around the question your VA claim needs answered.
Occupational-functioning evaluations
A full psychological evaluation of how mental health symptoms affect work.
Reports and opinions
Nexus opinions
A written psychological opinion about whether a mental health condition is linked to military service or another service-connected condition.
Mental health DBQs
A VA form that records current diagnoses, symptoms, and their effects on daily life, relationships, and work.
Reviews and consultation
Records and prior-opinion reviews
A focused review of selected records and one clear clinical question—without starting with a full evaluation.
Professional consultations
A structured consultation with Dr. Bell for attorneys, accredited claims agents, VSOs, and referring health professionals.
03 / HOW TO CHOOSE
Start with what your claim needs.
Choose the statement that best describes your situation. It will help identify the evaluation, report, or review that may best fit your claim.
“I want a full review of my mental health history, symptoms, and records.”
“I need an opinion about a link to service or another service-connected condition.”
“VA or my representative asked for a current mental health DBQ.”
“I need to explain how my mental health symptoms affect work.”
“I want to understand what my records or a prior opinion show.”
“I am an attorney, claims agent, VSO, or health professional with a case question.”
“My claim involves MST or another traumatic event.”

04 / HOW IT WORKS
A clear process from the start.
You can book your evaluation directly. If you have questions or would like to speak with Dr. Bell first, a free 15-minute phone consultation is available, but it is never required.
05 / FOR PROFESSIONALS
For attorneys, claims agents, VSOs, and referral professionals.
Dr. Bell provides professional consultation at $350 per hour. A consultation may help define a mental health question, explain a prior opinion, or clarify whether an evaluation may fit.
