Proud Veteran-Owned Business Partner to The Purple Heart Foundation
Every service member takes an oath of service. Enlisted service members take an “Oath of Enlistment,” and Officers take an “Oath of Office”. Regardless, when you raised your right hand, you solemnly swore: “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”
Many of us remember exactly where we were when we first recited this oath of service. I said my oath for the first time during my commissioning ceremony at the National Museum of the Marine Corps on March 31, 2007.
This oath is the bedrock of our nation’s security. But your act of service demands a reciprocal promise, a sacred duty our nation assumes to you. The implicit promise is this: You give us your best self, and we will ensure you return whole and ready to thrive.
On our homepage, you see the visual embodiment of this pledge: a service member with their hand over their heart. That simple, powerful image represents the ultimate promise and the piece of themselves every veteran poured into their duty.
Sadly, somewhere between oath of service, fulfilling missions, and navigating complex discharge paperwork, this crucial promise gets lost. Veterans struggling with invisible wounds like PTSD, depression, or persistent anxiety are often left fighting the system for the benefits they earned, struggling to move from surviving to thriving.
At VMHA, our commitment is to fulfilling that lost promise. This is about more than just securing a disability rating. It’s about giving our service members who sacrificed a part of themselves the opportunity to reclaim their stability, their health, and their future.
Our grateful nation has a reciprocal duty. It is to ensure that the citizens who uphold the Constitution are made whole when their service ends. This is the only way to honor your oath of service.
In practice, the system often breaks down:
This systemic failure leaves many veterans without the foundation they need to build a successful post-military life.
VMHA exists to bridge this gap. Fulfilling this oath of service promise is our core mission. We are not just focused on getting you money; we are focused on using benefits as a tool to help you thrive.
We do this by providing the expert medical evidence—the Independent Medical Opinions (IMOs) and Nexus Letters—that translates your lived experience into the professional, clinical language the VA needs to see.
When you secure your accurate disability rating, you unlock essential support that restores stability to your life:
Securing a service-connected disability rating is the first step in claiming a suite of life-changing benefits available across the entire nation.
The primary benefit is the monthly financial payment you receive based on your combined disability rating (from 10% to 100%).
A service-connected rating guarantees access to comprehensive VA healthcare for those specific service-connected conditions.
For veterans with a disability rating of 10% or higher, the VA waives the mandatory funding fee when you use your VA Home Loan Guaranty benefit.
While not directly tied to a disability rating, the post-9/11 GI Bill and related education benefits are critical tools for the veteran who is returning to society to “be a better member.”
Securing your accurate disability rating translates into significant financial and educational advantages at the state level. Here are the top three veteran-populated states and the major benefits unlocked by your rating:
For veterans living in Texas, like those close to our headquarters in Frisco, securing your rating unlocks huge tax breaks.
Florida provides immediate financial relief due to its state tax policies and educational opportunities.
California offers comprehensive support focused on family education and housing.
If your mental health is affecting your ability to work, keep a stable relationship, or simply function in daily life, you likely qualify. You do not need to have been in combat to have a service-connected condition. PTSD, depression, or anxiety can be linked to your time in service, whether through a traumatic event or chronic operational stress. The key is to get a formal diagnosis and a strong Nexus Letter.
The compensation is crucial, but thriving comes from the stability that the rating provides. When you stop worrying about losing your home due to property taxes (if you live in Texas, Florida, or California) or losing your job due to severe anxiety, you free up mental space. This stability allows you to engage fully in therapy, focus on your family, and pursue long-term goals. The rating is the safety net that supports your recovery.
VMHA fulfills the lost promise by ensuring the government recognizes your injury. The system often fails because veterans lack the specific, high-quality medical evidence (the IMO/Nexus Letter) needed to prove service connection. Our expert psychologists translate your struggle with PTSD or depression into a VA-aligned document that decision-makers cannot ignore. We ensure the system honors the debt owed to you. This allows you to move beyond survival and into a future where you can truly thrive.
When you took the Oath of Service to defend the Constitution, you upheld your promise. Now, it is time for the nation to uphold its promise to you. The path to having that promise fulfilled runs directly through your VA mental health claim.
Don’t let the invisible wounds of PTSD, depression, or anxiety prevent you from claiming your secure future. Securing your accurate disability rating unlocks your national and local benefits. These benefits provide the financial stability, educational opportunity, and critical healthcare needed to thrive.
