Hi, I check the claim status all the time, so it says " Evidence gathering, review, and decision" as of Oct 12th 2023. But I went and looked at my letters and there were two new buttons I never had before. Is the legit!?!? 🙈🙉🙊 Best Sam 🫠

Just wanted to thank all that have provided me with tidbits of information from 2007 through January 2023. Some of that info came from direct input but most was gleaned by lurking. My journey has been slow and painful but in the end it resulted well. I managed my claim myself with occasional support from different VSOs; don't believe that I would have been successful without the knowledge that came from hadit.com I still have multiple issues pending to include an appeal that's about # 2000 on the docket. Will continue to push these eggs up the hill just not as quickly as before. Good luck to all that are still pursuing their claim with the VA and thanks agai…

Good morning Hadit members. I just want to thank everyone for their encouragement, support and sage answers to many of my questions. I just received notice today, my rating is 100% P & T. OSA secondary to PTSD 50% increased my rating to 100% P&T. I was a bit skeptical when Dr. Anaise recommended an HLR after a supplemental claim denial, but his write up was very comprehensive and VA sided with his evidence vice the examiner. As many have said on this site, it may take longer than you would like to get the rating you deserve, but don't give up. Thank you T'Bird for founding Hadit and your mission to not "leave no one behind".

My attorney, Chris Attig, recently informed me that my CAVC claim was remanded! This isnt quite a win, but, after reading what the judge wrote, its gonna be hard for the BVA to deny me again.

Wish I could say that this is success...but I'm a long way from there. I could really use an ally in Oklahoma, friends. I have FTD. It was caused by VHA Rx. I've been intermittently homeless and face it again. VHA is salivating at chance for me to exhibit disability and body slam me. VHA case worker defamed me to Housing Authority (landlord) who's subsequently withheld assistance programs and services cuz I record them. I record them. I recorded them threatening me. I just can't get a lawyer to listen to the tape. I'm dirt to them. "We don't do that kind of work here." The FTD makes it impossible. Anyway, the success story is none of them are smart enough not…

It's been a minute since I have been on here. I really just wanted to check in, say hello, and wish everyone well. I am still ticking, even though COVID tried to put a stop to it. I was in the hospital from December 6, 2021 to February 14, 2022. Most of that was in the ICU in an induced coma. I died on December 26, 2021 but thanks to the good Lord, modern medicine, and a healthy dose of stubborness on my part, they revived me and I pulled through. It took its toll on me, though, and life is a bit more difficult than before. I'm still in the never ending fight with the VA. I have a few claims in for SMC that I should have an answer to any day now. I'll try to remember to u…

Good morning all, I received two decision letters for 100 percent combined ratings. First letter, I received 100% P & T combined rating effective Feb 1, 2022, I received decision letter March 2023, based on HLR decision for Sleep Apnea (PTSD) 50%. “Eligibility to dependents Chapter 35 DEA was included in the language. In August 2022 while awaiting aforementioned HLR decision I submitted claims for an increase on other existing conditions which were granted and I was again rated 100% (combined ratings, scheduler). Effective date August 2022, received decision letter April 2023. Both 100 percent ratings and effective dates were listed on my last l…

I got my SC letter from the VA today for HBP due to AO exposure. I got zero percent as I suspected. That is ok since that is all I wanted since it did not mean more money. Now if I have a stroke it will be SC'ed I hope. Now I am SC for DMII, CAD and High Blood. All due to AO. I would prefer not to be but such is life. You really have to have very dangerous HBP to get more than zero!

I simply must give major kudos to the experts on this forum that provided me with sound advice on how to approach my claim for compensation. Just got the letter that the BVA judge granted my claim for OSA direct service connection after being denied and denied. This forum gave me the fortitude to stick to my guns and engage the American Legion to assist in managing and preparing my claim. They did a wonderful job! I filed my claim in September of 2017 and just got the decision December 9 2022. It has been a little while. My question is: Does OSA with CPAP use still grant 50% or did they already change that based on their rule amendment in Feb 22? Prior…

VA Compensation Issue - What Does It Mean?
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Question Posed: So my appeal was closed on July 15. I haven’t received my letter yet, but under the issues tab on va.gov, where it used to say the items I was appealing, it now says “compensation issue.” Is that normally what it says just when they close the review? Has anyone seen any other terminology in that section?
Answer:
Compensation issue simply means your claim is for disability compensation as opposed to some other kind of claim Maybe an upgrade for discharge for example. Most claims that are submitted are designated compensation issues. Nothing to worry about.-

Members Create Your Blog
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research,
Create your blog.
Sometimes you have more to say that doesn't fit a community discussion. Maybe you are passionate about fishing, cooking, reading, it's your choice. The same guidelines apply to the blogs that apply to the community. The two biggest are no politics and no religion. Facebook or someplace else is the place for that, it is not here. Creating your blog allows you to expand on what you have to say.
Do you find yourself typing the same content again and again?
Create a blog post with that content and then all you have to do is link to the blog post.
This gives you two main advantages
You only have to type the content once, a great time saver.
If your content changes due to law or regulations or for whatever reason, you only have to update your blog, and wherever you link to that post will be linking to the most current information.
Check out the video below.
Have questions? Ask it in this topic and I will do my best to answer.-

How do I upload evidence online to support my disability claim?
If you’ve filed a claim for disability compensation, you can continue uploading more evidence for up to one year to support your claim. Evidence may include supporting documents like medical test results, doctor’s reports, and other records. Upload your evidence online now.
If you’re waiting for a decision on your disability claim, you can upload evidence to support that claim using our claim status tool.
Upload evidence using our claim status tool
Note: For any other type of document you’d like to submit online to us, please use the QuickSubmit tool through AccessVA.
If I filed a standard disability claim, when should I upload evidence?
Upload your evidence as soon as you can.
You can continue uploading documents for up to 1 year from the date we receive your claim. But, if you don’t provide any evidence or give us the information we need to help you get evidence within 30 days, we may make a decision on your claim earlier.
If we decide your claim early, you’ll still have the rest of the 1-year period to provide more information or evidence.
What happens if I upload more evidence after I’ve submitted a fully developed claim?
We’ll remove your disability claim from the Fully Developed Claims program and process it as a standard claim.
If we decide your claim earlier than 1 year from the date we received the claim, you’ll still have the rest of the year to provide any additional information or evidence.

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
