State

We can’t accept cases from your state. Per our state-licensing constraints, Flat Rate Nexus only serves veterans in 48 states (not Oregon or Utah). We’re sorry we can’t help you here. A VA-accredited VSO (VFW, DAV, American Legion) can assist at no cost.

🔒 Your information stays private. We don’t share your data. This is a free educational screening for your information only — not a formal intake, and not a legal or medical opinion.

I understand this is an educational pre-screen — not a clinical opinion or legal advice. The real review happens when the Flat Rate Nexus team and a board-certified physician read my records during the $50 records review. By submitting, I agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms.

Generation takes 30–60 seconds. Your assessment will be sent to your email when ready.

About the tool & legal fine print

This is an automated, AI-generated pre-screen, not a custom medical review. It reads what you typed against the recognized medical pathways that connect conditions to military service. Our team and a board-certified physician review your actual records only if you continue to the $50 records review — that’s where the real viability call happens.

Educational only. Not a clinical opinion, not legal advice, not VA representation. This pre-screen reflects general medical and service-connection principles; it is not a prediction of what will happen with your specific claim, and it is not data published or endorsed by the VA or any government agency.

Not VA representation. FRN is not VA-accredited. For specific filing questions a free VA-accredited VSO (VFW, DAV, American Legion) is the right path.

48 states only. We don’t accept cases from Oregon or Utah residents. Daily limits: 3 submissions per email, 5 per network.
