Rebekah Macaskill — Veteran Disability Claim Support

About Rebekah

A medical provider who speaks fluent military.

I spent ten years as a physician assistant in the U.S. Navy, practicing general medicine for active-duty service members — every condition service life produces, not just one specialty — including two deployments to Afghanistan: one as the medical provider for SEAL Team TEN, and one as a Fleet Marine Force Medical Officer. I know what service does to a body, because treating it was my job.

Since leaving active duty in 2018, I've practiced as an orthopedic and orthopedic trauma PA in busy civilian health systems. Musculoskeletal conditions — backs, knees, shoulders, joints — are the single most common category of VA disability claims, and they're my daily specialty. That combination — general military medicine plus deep orthopedic expertise — covers the ground most veterans' claims are built on.

Here's what I've learned helping veterans with their disability packages: the VA doesn't rate what you experienced — it rates what your records prove. A claim built on thin or scattered medical evidence gets lowballed or denied, no matter how real the disability is. My job is to make sure the medical side of your claim is complete, accurate, and impossible to overlook.

Services

Medical evidence support, end to end.

I focus on the part of your claim that decides the outcome: the medical evidence. Every service below is delivered by me personally — a licensed PA, not a call center.

📋

Complete Records Review

A full, clinical read of your service treatment records and civilian medical records — mapping every documentable condition, including the ones you didn't know were claimable.

🩺

Nexus Letters & Medical Opinions

Well-reasoned, evidence-cited medical opinion letters connecting your current conditions to your service — written in the language VA raters and examiners expect.

🔗

Secondary Condition Mapping

Service-connected conditions cause and aggravate others — a bad knee changes a back; chronic pain affects sleep and mental health. I identify the secondary claims your records support.

🗣️

C&P Exam Preparation

Understand what your Compensation & Pension exam actually measures, and how to communicate your symptoms accurately and completely — on your worst day, not your best.

✍️

Personal Statement Guidance

Help translating what you live with every day into the clear, specific, medically-relevant language that supports — instead of undercuts — the rest of your evidence.

📈

Denials & Rating Increases

Already denied, or rated lower than your reality? I review the decision letter against your records to find exactly where the evidence gap is — and how to close it.

Add-ons: Decision-letter (denial) review — $195 C&P exam prep session — $150 Personal statement guidance — $125

Unusually large record sets or complex multi-condition cases are quoted individually — always before any work begins. A nexus letter is written only where the medical evidence genuinely supports the connection; if your records don't support an opinion, you'll be told directly and charged only for the review.

How It Works

A clear path from records to rating.

Free intake call

We talk through your service history, conditions, and goals. You'll leave the call knowing whether I can help — no charge, no pressure.

Records deep-dive

I review your service treatment records and medical history the way a clinician does — looking for every documented condition and every gap.

Evidence package

You get a clear picture of what your records support: nexus letters where warranted, secondary conditions identified, and a plan for anything missing.

File with confidence

You submit through your VSO, accredited agent, or on your own — with medical evidence that finally tells the whole story.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you file my claim for me?

No — I focus on the medical evidence that decides your claim. Filing and formal representation are handled by you, your Veterans Service Organization (VSO), or a VA-accredited agent or attorney. My work plugs directly into that process: strong medical evidence is what those representatives need most.

What conditions do you work with?

The full range. My Navy years were spent in general medicine, treating active-duty service members for everything military life produces, and my civilian specialty is orthopedics — backs, necks, knees, shoulders, hips, and joints, the most commonly claimed VA disabilities. I review your complete record across every body system.

What does it cost?

The intake call is always free, and every fee is flat and quoted up front — see the price list. A focused records review & clinical summary is $350 (credited toward your first nexus letter) — in many cases, that's all you need to build your claim. Nexus letters are $895, and the full evidence package is $1,695. You will never pay a percentage of your benefits or back pay.

Can you guarantee a rating?

No one can — and you should be skeptical of anyone who promises a specific outcome. What I can promise is that the medical evidence in your claim will be complete, clinically sound, and clearly presented, so the VA rates your actual condition rather than an incomplete file.
