Our Commitment to Veterans
Every Veteran Deserves to Be Seen, Heard, and Understood.
Veterans deserve every opportunity to have their medical stories accurately documented and fairly considered. Our services are rooted in one simple idea: when a Veteran’s health story is clearly told, the VA can make faster, fairer, and more informed decisions.
We play a small part in that process by helping Veterans present the medical evidence that supports their benefits journey.
Why Medical Evidence Matters
Every VA disability decision begins with evidence. The VA requires proof of three things:
- A current medical condition or disability.
- An event, injury, or illness during active duty.
- A link between the two.
That connection, the link between service and current condition, must be supported by medical evidence. Without it, getting rated for a legitimate condition can be delayed or denied.
That’s why medical professionals play such an important role in the VA system. Their documentation and opinions give decision-makers the clarity needed to understand how service has affected a Veteran’s health and quality of life.
What We Do
For more than a decade, Trajector Medical’s licensed nurse practitioners and registered nurses have helped Veterans gather the medical evidence that matters most. Our role is focused and clear:
- Conducting one-on-one sessions with licensed medical professionals.
- Reviewing medical histories and records to identify relevant conditions.
- Mapping symptoms to diagnoses and causal factors.
- Documenting accurate, clinically sound medical evidence.
- Providing Veterans with reports they can submit directly to the VA in support of their disability applications.
We complement the work of accredited representatives and ensure Veterans have complete and credible medical evidence before submitting their applications.
The Difference Between Legal Advocacy and Medical Evidence
The VA’s own guidelines distinguish between two separate and distinct roles:
- Accredited representatives (attorneys, agents, and VSOs) prepare, present, and prosecute claims before the VA.
- Medical professionals evaluate and document medical evidence that helps the VA make informed decisions.
Each serves a distinct purpose, and Veterans benefit most when both sides work together.
Just as an attorney cannot practice medicine, a medical professional cannot act as a legal advocate. Our work exists on the medical side of that line, regulated by state medical boards and guided by federal law that protects a Veteran’s right to submit private medical evidence.
This partnership, the combination of quality advocacy and quality medical documentation, leads to stronger cases, more accurate outcomes, and a more efficient VA system overall.
Veterans’ Right to Submit Private Medical Evidence
Federal law guarantees every Veteran the right to submit private medical evidence in support of their benefits applications. The VA is required to consider that evidence when making its decisions.
These laws include:
- 38 U.S.C. §5107(b): Requires the VA to consider all medical evidence of record, regardless of its source.
- 38 U.S.C. §5125: Requires the VA to accept medical reports from private healthcare professionals.
- 38 C.F.R. §3.159(a)(1): Defines “competent medical evidence” and emphasizes the training and expertise of healthcare providers in assessing its weight.
- 38 U.S.C. §5101(d)(1)(A): Mandates that the VA provide Disability Benefits Questionnaire forms on its public website for use by private medical professionals.
These protections exist because Congress recognized that Veterans should not be limited to the opinions of VA-employed doctors when documenting their health conditions. Independent medical evidence ensures fairness, accuracy, and due process.
How We Operate
Trajector Medical’s services are fully compliant with VA policy, federal law, and state medical regulations. Our work is recognized as distinct from representation or advocacy before the VA, meaning VA accreditation does not apply to the medical evidence services we provide.
We operate transparently, guided by our Do It Right, Say It Right principles:
- We don’t overstate or guarantee outcomes.
- We don’t diagnose for the purpose of treatment; we document for the purpose of clarity.
- We always act within the scope of medical licensure and federal regulations.
Our mission is to make sure every Veteran has access to clear, credible medical documentation so their story can be told completely and considered fairly.
Our Shared Mission
We believe in the nobility of service, both the service of those who wore the uniform and the service of those who now stand beside them.
By helping Veterans build strong medical documentation, we make it easier for the VA to make evidence-based decisions the first time, reducing appeals, delays, and frustration.
Every Veteran’s health story deserves to be understood.
Every Veteran’s service deserves to be honored.
And every piece of medical evidence deserves to be seen, considered, and valued by decision-makers.
Together, We Help Veterans Be Seen — Medically. Legally. Ethically.
Because doing right by Veterans means doing it right in every way.
We welcome continued collaboration with Veterans, accredited representatives, and policymakers to strengthen the system we all serve.
Our commitment is, and always will be, to serve every Veteran with disabilities and to help them feel understood, heard, and recognized by telling their medical story clearly and truthfully.
