Obtaining the right documentation is an important part of the VA disability claims process. At MindBodyPinnacle Health, we provide VA Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) evaluations for veterans and active-duty service members in Greenbelt, MD. Our licensed psychiatric providers perform comprehensive mental health evaluations and prepare detailed, evidence-based documentation designed to accurately reflect your symptoms and functional limitations. Whether you need a DBQ, Nexus Letter, or Independent Medical Opinion (IMO), our team is committed to delivering professional, objective evaluations.
Our providers conduct detailed psychiatric evaluations and complete VA DBQs that document your diagnosis, symptom severity, occupational limitations, and daily functional challenges in the format preferred by the VA.
When supported by your clinical history and evaluation, we prepare comprehensive Nexus Letters that explain the relationship between your military service and your mental health condition.
We provide Independent Medical Opinions supported by a detailed psychiatric assessment, record review, and clinical findings to help strengthen your supporting medical evidence.
Your appointment includes an in-depth psychiatric interview covering your medical history, military background, current symptoms, previous treatment, and how your condition affects your everyday life.
Our providers carefully review available service treatment records, VA documentation, prior evaluations, and civilian medical records to ensure a thorough and well-supported assessment.
Every evaluation is tailored to your individual history and circumstances, allowing us to provide objective documentation while ensuring you receive respectful, compassionate care throughout the process.
At MindBodyPinnacle Health, our providers understand that every veteran’s experience is unique. We take a careful and individualized approach to every VA DBQ evaluation by listening to your concerns, reviewing your military and medical history, and conducting a comprehensive psychiatric assessment before completing any documentation.
Our goal is to produce accurate, evidence-based evaluations that clearly describe your condition and its impact on your daily functioning. Whether you’re requesting a DBQ, Nexus Letter, or Independent Medical Opinion, you’ll receive professional guidance and personalized attention from experienced mental health providers.
Your provider will discuss your military service, mental health history, current symptoms, treatment experiences, and concerns related to your disability claim.
We’ll evaluate your diagnosis, emotional health, cognitive functioning, and the ways your condition affects employment, relationships, and everyday activities.
If available, we’ll review military service records, prior VA decisions, medical records, and other supporting documents to strengthen your clinical evaluation.
Following your assessment, we’ll complete the appropriate DBQ, Nexus Letter, or Independent Medical Opinion based on your individual evaluation.
If you need continued psychiatric support, our team also offers medication management, TMS Therapy, Spravato®, psychiatric evaluations, and other mental health services.
VA DBQ evaluations may benefit veterans and active-duty military personnel seeking professional psychiatric documentation to support VA disability claims. These evaluations objectively document mental health diagnoses, symptom severity, functional impairment, and how those conditions affect work, relationships, and daily living.

“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. It was an overwhelming time, but every time I called, Angela treated me with patience, kindness, and compassion. She took the time to answer my questions, listened with empathy, and always made me feel heard and supported.”
