How to's on filing a Claim
This for instructional purposes to direct you on how to file your claim. When we were in the service they told you when to get up, when to eat, what weapon you were going to use, and where to go.
When you got out no one told you how to deal with the VA and how to file for the benefits that you earned by your service.
This section of the forum I have been wanting to set up for just this reason

I am eligible un PACT to file for HTN and MGUS and I have an intent to file a claim about out to expire in Aug/2024. (filed in 8/2023). I also want to revisit my previously denied illness of Acquired Hemolytic Anemia (aka Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria - which was rejected several years ago, lack of evidence). I have new evidence to support PNH but I'm assuming since it is well past the initial denial, I need to reclaim it.

I've been shot down 3 times trying to get Aid & Attendance. The last time under favorable findings the VA said I needed A&A for my nonservice-connected problems. Shrink said she was going to beef up my mental findings next time I file. My problem is this, I filed for my Claim File at the beginning of October I can feel my life slipping slowly away, little by little I'm losing my ability and desire to do anything I'm afraid I might pass away before I get the Claim File. Next time I file I want to be loaded for bear, that's why I requested a copy of my claims. I've also decided to use Ponton & Hill to help. Finally, my question is to those of you …

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.
