Run a Denial Risk Scan on this VA claim issue. Look for predictable failure modes: no current disability, weak service event or primary-condition foundation, weak nexus/continuity/aggravation bridge, weak severity evidence, procedural risks, missed exams, missed deadlines, VA requests, incomplete forms, unsigned witness statements, and unclear review lane. Do not guarantee outcomes. Tell me the top 3 risks and how to fix them.
