Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7AM. In this episode, Leah explains the usefulness of the Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA PAM) 611-21, also known as the MOS Smartbook. This resource provides detailed information on the specific requirements and duties associated with different Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in the Army, useful for understanding the physical demands placed on soldiers. Leah emphasizes how this pamphlet aids in assessing whether veterans meet retention standards, need reclassification, or in her current role, helps document and understand the physical requirements of various army roles, especially for disability claims. She demonstrates how the MOS Smartbook is interactive and live, walking viewers through an example of finding information for an 11 Bravo (infantryman) role, detailing the varying physical tasks required at different skill levels.

When I work with older ADHD women they often ask me, “I've made it through life this far, what would really change if I got a diagnosis?” Well, self-leadership coach and author Angela Raspass is here to answer that question, and her response is “everything.” Angela was diagnosed last year at 53, and even she was shocked by just how drastically her life was altered when she started to understand and accommodate her ADHD. She was lucky enough to find a medication that works for her brain, but Angela credits the biggest improvements to lifestyle and positivity changes, which have manifested into better relationships with her business, her family, and most importantly, herself. Angela's ADHD diagnosis allowed her to finally feel like she was taking the reins on her own life after so many years of not realizing the reins were even there. I hope her story inspires you to grab your own reins no matter your age.
