Trouble Remembering? This helped me. I have memory problems and as some of you may know I highly recommend Evernote and have for years. Though I've found that writing helps me remember more. I ran across Tom's videos on youtube, I'm a bit geeky and I also use an IPad so if you take notes on your IPad or you are thinking of going paperless check it out. I'm really happy with it, I use it with a program called Noteshelf 2. Click here to purchase your digital journal. HadIt.com receives a commission on each purchase.

Disability Calculator: Veterans Compensation Rate Calculator 10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained. VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic “VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service connected, and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.

So-and-so told me you were the best and I want your help.” While I appreciate the compliments, I shudder a little at emails like this. For 2 reasons. First, I get a lot of emails like this.

How to get your questions answered. All VA Claims questions should be posted on our forums. Read the forums without registering, to post you must register it’s free. Register for a free account. Tips on posting on the forums. 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’. Knowledgable 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 huge, rambling introduction or story. Again – You want to make …

Well this may take some detective work and so Watson the game is afoot. * Let's say it's Irritable Syndrome * I would …
