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 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.

The growing panic expressed over pandemic-related stimulus money doesn't seem to take into account that all the money was never set to be paid out at once. So just because your neighbor saw a stimulus payout via direct deposit last week, it doesn't mean that you won't see some money soon. More than half of the people who qualify to receive recovery rebates or stimulus checks have yet to receive any stimulus cash and many will start seeing their money this week or later. Some seniors who receive Social Security retirement benefits via direct deposit are expected to see that money associated with the Economic Impact Payments hit their accounts sometime this …

There is more Effective March 1, 2020, if a claimant or authorized representative requests an extension of a time limit associated with a required action or notes their inability to attend a virtual hearing or tele-C&P examination based on the COVID-19 pandemic, Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) will grant these requests under the good cause provisions, provided the time limit would have expired or situation occurred on or after March 1, 2020 and until 60 calendar days from the date the President ends the national state of emergency. https://www.benefits.va.gov/BENEFITS/financial-literacy.asp#financialrelief

Board of Veterans' Appeals Response to COVID-19 https://www.bva.va.gov/CustomerService.asp The Board of Veterans Appeals has decided to wait for veterans to become too sick to know what is going on with their claims to advance them on the docket. Many years ago I filed for financial hardship with my congressman's assistance. Even though the VARO expedited my decision it came back denied no increase, no help what so ever. Sad to think what these decision maybe. Can we really count on the Board or even VA to do the right thing? Why is it that we have to come to the brink of death to be acknowledge?

Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the correct topic for this forum but is Coronavirus related. Does anyone know if VA will supply a Pulse Ox or Oxy meter? and if so how to obtain one. I am the at risk category for the virus with age, and have 2 chronic conditions listed, diabetes and lung condition. I am wheezing from the asthma, not sure if its allergies related also. I am taking my inhalers( albuterol & Symbiocort) from the VA which help. But would like to monitor my oxygen levels while I am bunkered in until this passes. Afraid to leave my house currently, live in the Hot Zone of NJ/NYC area. Any assistance is appreciated. …

https://connectingvets.radio.com/articles/va-employees-worry-about-response-testing-at-hospitals Also our Governour ( NY) is taking many firm steps here to fight the sudden increase in NY of the virus and death toll.- also,I started to disinfect my home yesterday, and now they are advising all Americas to do that. It makes sense. The USNS Comfort is headed to NY harbor. They have empty beds and a full on- the- sea medical center.We expect the Army Corps of Engineers to help with Mobile ( Mash) units etc etc. The Briefing from the White House is a little late but due soon ( 12:07 here in EST.)

I had read the Senate was considering an extra $200 a month in the checks of SSA, SSI, and veteran disability. The $200 would have lasted into the end of 2021. Has anybody heard anything?

Post in New BVA Grants
broncovet posted an answer to a question,
While the BVA has some discretion here, often they "chop up claims". For example, BVA will order SERVICE CONNECTION, and leave it up to the VARO the disability percent and effective date.
I hate that its that way. The board should "render a decision", to include service connection, disability percentage AND effective date, so we dont have to appeal "each" of those issues over then next 15 years on a hamster wheel.

Finally Won...NOW WHAT?
Ztmiller8 posted a question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC,
Finally heard back that I received my 100% Overall rating and a 100% PTSD rating Following my long appeal process!
My question is this, given the fact that my appeal was on the advanced docket and is an “Expedited” appeal, what happens now and how long(ish) is the process from here on out with retro and so forth? I’ve read a million things but nothing with an expedited appeal status.
Anyone deal with this situation before? My jump is from 50 to 100 over the course of 2 years if that helps some. I only am asking because as happy as I am, I would be much happier to pay some of these bills off!-

Post in Higher level review
Joey Ross posted an answer to a question,
I told reviewer that I had a bad C&P, and that all I wanted was a fair shake, and she even said, that was what she was all ready viewed for herself. The first C&P don't even reflect my Treatment in the VA PTSD clinic. In my new C&P I was only asked about symptoms, seeing shit, rituals, nightmares, paying bills and about childhood, but didn't ask about details of it. Just about twenty question, and nothing about stressor,

I don’t say thank you enough to all of you...
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
You, yes you, are the reason HadIt.com has remained a resource-rich resource. Thousands come each month to read, ask questions, or to feel a sense of community.
Last month June 2020, we over 50k visitors they viewed over 160k pages. Veterans and their advocates, spouses, children, and friends of veterans come looking for answers. Because we have posts dating back 15 years and articles on the home page, they usually can find an answer or at least get pointed in the right direction.
You all made that possible. Thank you.-
