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 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.

3 Points Needed to Prove Adjudication Made a CUE
MAC64 posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
Hello Defenders of freedom!
I have a question pertaining to this denial for headaches. The decision letter is quoted below.
3. Service connection for headaches.
"We may grant service connection for a disability which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service.
Your STRs are negative for any treatment of or diagnosis of headaches. On your post-deployment exam in 2005 you denied any headaches. On separation, you denied any headaches. VA treatment records are negative for any treatment of or diagnosis of headaches. On VA exam, the examiner stated there was no evidence of any residuals of a traumatic brain injury.
We have denied service connection for headaches because the evidence of record fails to show this disability was incurred in or caused by military service."
From my understanding these 3 points must be overturned to successfully win a CUE case:
(1) either the correct facts, as they were known at the time, were not before the adjudicator or the statutory or regulatory provisions in existence at that time were incorrectly applied;
(2) the error must be undebatable and of the sort which, had it not been made, would have manifestly changed the outcome at the time of the prior determination
and (3) a determination that there was CUE must be based on the record and law that existed at the time of the prior adjudication in question.
@Berta, or veterans out here who have knowledge/experience, tell me what facts you think would be needed to prove this denial for headaches was an error?-

Post in Estimated Completion Date
entitled2be posted an answer to a question,
In 2014 I put in a claim request for A&A due to housebound and secondary seizures to PTSD. I request a legacy appeal to move to RAMP and now am in A Higher Level of Review. It was in the Decision Review Stage in March 2019. It now is back to Gathering evidence. I had requested Feb 2019 for the VA to make a determination of the appeal based on all evidence currently in the case fine. It is now end of July 2019. I just saw the estimated completion date of May 20, 2020 changed to August 2020. The Modernnization/RAMP said that it would take approximately 120 days Its now been 5 years since I submitted my claim and part of that has been in appeal for close to four years. How can I even tell if my appeal is being worked. I am 65 years old and know I may have to send my appeal onto BVA, I may be dead before a conclusion is made. I am also single so have no dependents that could receive back pay. Is the VA playing me? I have no representation or VSO

Dbq to differentiate PTSD and tbi social occupational impairment
Phild523 posted a question in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams,
My claim went back to gathering of evidence after I had my second c&p exam for tbi initial. My vso the Dav said it was a dbq to differentiate the symptoms of tbi and PTSD as far as social and occupational impairment. I recieved at least as likely as not on all exams, PTSD, both tbi exams. Has anyone experienced this or know what it means? Is this a good sign my claim will be granted ? Thank you.-

VA Claims requires a lot of note taking - What I use for note taking
Tbird posted a topic in VA Disability Claims Articles and VA News,
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.
