Preparing a VA disability claim requires thorough and accurate medical documentation. At MindBodyPinnacle Health, we provide VA Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) evaluations for veterans and active-duty service members in Columbia, MD. Our experienced psychiatric providers conduct comprehensive mental health assessments and prepare detailed clinical documentation to support your claim. Whether you need a DBQ, Nexus Letter, or Independent Medical Opinion (IMO), our goal is to provide objective, evidence-based evaluations that accurately reflect your condition.
We complete detailed psychiatric DBQs that document your diagnosis, symptoms, level of impairment, and how your condition affects your work and daily life.
When clinically appropriate, our providers prepare evidence-based Nexus Letters that explain the medical relationship between your military service and your diagnosed mental health condition.

“I’ve been seeing Marilyn for a couple of weeks now online and she has been so understanding of the things I talk about. There’s a lot of things that I don’t know how to define but she walks me through it! I’ve been on a new medication with her and have felt better than I have ever felt in my life and I am so grateful. It doesn’t feel like I am talking to a scary doctor, it feels like I’m talking to an educated friend! I am very appreciative of everything the staff do and how accommodating they are. Thank you so much!!”
“I am writing to recognize Angela for the kindness, compassion, and professionalism she showed me during one of the most difficult times of my life. During the stressful process of seeking approval for my long-term disability, I was also struggling with anxiety and depression.

She took the time to answer my questions, listened with empathy, and always made me feel heard and supported.”
