Welcome to On Point 4 Veterans
This website provides everything you need to complete your own evaluation and submit a claim to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for service-connected mental health conditions.
Our information is thorough and complex. Through our podcast and step-by-step guidance, we will help you work through the VA process on your own, at your own pace. We provided this at no cost.
Or you can choose to work directly with Mike Coonan, LMSW, ACSW BCD, the creator of OP4V. Mike will provide a hands-on, clinician-led mental health evaluation and organize and develop your information into a clear, comprehensive clinical narrative, called your Military History Psychosocial Assessment MH-PSA. This describes your service-connected condition and severity. Just as important, Mike will help you understand the VA disability process, so you can either do it yourself or be informed enough to find a different provider. You should look around to see what is best for you.
Click on the button below and learn how to get support from Mike. From your first contact through completion of your Compensation & Pension (C&P) evaluation. He stays with you, guiding, preparing you MHPSA, and supporting you every step along the way.
On Point for Veterans (OP4V) Stands Apart for the Following Eight Reasons:
1. Direct Clinical Leadership: You will work directly with Mike Coonan, LMSW, ACSW, BCD, from first contact through completion of the VA Compensation & Pension (C&P) evaluation. No handoffs. No gaps.
2. Family Integrated Approach: OP4V actively brings spouses and family members into the process, ensuring they have a voice, and the VA hears the full, real-world impact of your condition during your VA psychiatric assessment and the C&P.
3. Proven Peer Network: OP4V built a working group, We Are On Point for Veterans, where veterans who secured their earned benefits return to guide others through the VA disability process. Real outcomes. Real support.
4. Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation: You will receive a fully developed, longitudinal mental health evaluation that integrates your military experience and psychiatric history into one clinical document, the Military History Psychosocial Assessment (MH-PSA).
RESOURCE INDEX
5. You no longer need to explain your military history or mental health condition. It serves as both a comprehensive clinical document and a clear, structured voice, allowing your history to be accurately presented to providers and evaluators.
6. Access to Psychiatry: Many veterans previously denied VA psychiatric care have used your evaluation to gain access to VA psychiatry for proper assessment and, when needed, treatment.
7. Exceptional Value: At a flat fee of $600, OP4V delivers comprehensive, hands-on clinical evaluation and guidance at a fraction of the cost of many online VA C&P evaluation services.
8. Veterans Who Give Back: Members of the WE ARE ON POINT 4 VETERANS group who have completed the VA C&P process often remain engaged, referring and supporting other veterans through the same system. Experience is not lost; it is passed forward.
