Bridging the gap between your service and your benefits
Services
Independent Medical Opinion:
The VA will not consider a mental health claim unless you have a formal diagnosis.
Dr. Kane will complete an interview with you and provide a formal diagnosis if you meet the criteria.
Nexus Letters:
Dr. Kane provides an individualized review of your service and mental health records to ensure accuracy and relevance to your claim. Each Nexus Letter is crafted using language tailored to meet VA standards, and crafted to include current literature and references. Confident, confidential, and timely services while delivering veteran-centered service are emphasized.
DBQ:
A Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) is the primary tool the VA uses to determine your rating percentage. As a former C&P Examiner, Dr. Kane has completed hundreds of these forms. She provides a comprehensive clinical evaluation to ensure your DBQ accurately reflects the full severity of your symptoms, social impairment, and occupational impact. Dr. Kane doesn't just check boxes; your clinical story will be told with the precision required for a fair rating.
Mental Health Documentation Education and Coaching
Expert coaching to help you clearly document and communicate your mental health history, symptoms, and daily functioning. Dr. Kane offers one‑on‑one educational support to help you organize your clinical story and feel more confident completing your own benefit applications.
This is a coaching service, not legal representation. Dr. Kane is not a VA‑accredited representative or attorney and does not complete VA forms, tell you what to claim, or represent you before the VA. You are responsible for preparing and submitting your own claims.
Clinical Evaluation Prep:
Preparing for your C&P exam can be a VERY stressful experience. To help with the process, we offer:
Basic Evaluation Prep:
Dr. Kane will meet with you to review your mental health claims packet with you, focus on salient details likely to be discussed in your exam, and provide skills for managing anxiety. Dr. Kane will review your information, and provide feedback.
Clinical Evaluation Prep with Practice Examination - Also includes all of the Basic Prep services.
A practice/mock clinical exam is invaluable if you are nervous about your evaluation. As a former C&P evaluator, Dr. Kane will do a simulated exam. This is helpful for:
- Learning the questions the evaluator will likely ask
- Recalling and conveying the details that communicate to the evaluator the information that will make the difference when they are filling out the forms to send to the VA
- Review the documentation the evaluator will submit to the VA and what is important for each section.
- Debriefing
