Ask Doc Ellis Webinar

Welcome to the Ask Doc Ellis Webinar!
John W Ellis, MD, the world renown physician and a leading authority on the medical and legal aspects of Federal Work Comp and VA Disability - answers your questions, Live.

The most important thing to consider when applying for Federal Work Comp or VA Disability benefits is to have a clear understanding of your case. You need to be able to demonstrate that your injury is related to your job or your time in the service. It's extremely important to have a clear and comprehensive medical evaluation from a physician, who can help you navigate the complex legal process. Your doctor really needs to be a Lawyer first and a Doctor second.

Some of the most common mistakes to avoid when applying for Federal Work Comp or VA Disability benefits include failing to submit a well written Nexus letter, failure to provide a complete and accurate medical history, not providing adequate documentation to support your claim, and not working with an experienced Federal Work Comp and VA Disability specialist that knows FECA & VA law.

John W. Ellis, M.D. or “Doc Ellis”, as we call him, is a highly trained physician, that knows FECA and VA law. Doc Ellis, kindly makes himself available, the first Friday of each month, to answer your questions about Federal Work Comp, VA Disability, Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS), Schedule Awards etc.
