I am currently rated at 20% for a service-connected shoulder injury (helicopter accident). I'm about to send in my disability paperwork for PTSD and sleep apnea. I have a letter from my civilian doctor (general practitioner) that states that my VA diagnosed Sleep Apnea is as likely as not related to my VA diagnosed PTSD. I'm curious to know if I should include this letter with my initial disability application or wait until after the C&P exam which will probably not service connect the sleep apnea. Thanks Mike

Not sure what's causing this but it only happens on HADIT. Whenever I type or scroll up and down or even going from Forem to Forem, I have to wait for like 30 sec. for it to compute. Any suggestions? <Coot>

I ran into a former employee (also a Veteran) he received his 100% rating and they paid him back pay from his service date, I want to say he got out about 15 years ago. I told him I had just filed for PTSD with secondary of MST, he informed me I should receive back pay to my military days is there any truth to that.\?

My computer is high performance, Windows 10. The scripts on Hadit servers cause my computer to lag with high CPU use. It works with anything needing high performance, like combat flight simulators. Just Win10 can't handle too much scripting and ads. I know it is beyond the control of Hadit website, as the servers run the ads. it is very difficult to type in the forums with high CPU usage. FYI

Greetings everyone, This is from an ongoing post and I would appreciate any guidance based on the following: In putting forth best effort in getting my OSA Service Connected and thought I would paste (in chronological order) small excerpts from what I have so far. I get my CPAP issued on the 27th of June and I want to be ready to submit as soon as I get the CPAP issued. I tried inserting the cut and pasted info (see previous post), but I am unable to and I have put it into a Word document. If someone know how I can paste the excerpts here, please let me know. JR

I keep getting an error message when I try to change my forum signature: Too many links and Signature spans too many lines I tried several different combinations of line length, links or no links, etc., but nothing worked, not even a single plain text character. I cleared cache and temp files, but that didn't help either. Any ideas? Thanks! Mark

Have a laptop that I use occasionally. HP ProBook 430 G1. It has a SSD but I was wondering if I can add another SSD or HDD to it? This is a whole new world for me but something to keep me from doing nothing all day. The things I have read is that yes I can, some can just be added, some I have to removes current hard drive and install the upgraded version. I don't really have anything stored on it. Just some old homework assignments. But I would want to keep the windows 7 that is on it. Would that be a problem with adding or swapping out the hard drive? The laptop is decent for checking email or browsing the web. But I'd like to install some of the photography pr…

... I'd like to pick some geeks brains and wonder if anyone has come across an app that will decipher my old handwritten VA notes and convert them to text, I've briefly searched the google play store and they have so many, but not specifically what I want, so far... To be able to take a pic of the page w/all the hand written data and hav -ing an app decipher it and convert it to text would be great and also save me a lot of $$$ using something like that instead of using something like what a court's deposi -tion transcript conversion to text company does - recordings to text, but in this case, scanned handwriting to text... any/all ideas or leads would be g…

Greetings I have an occasional need/desire to print information from eBenefits for my records. When I try to print in the conventional way, what I get is very different and only part of what is on the screen. Cutting and pasting does not work.. "Saving page as" does not work either.

My PC is only a few weeks old and I had to re learn much with it, and also the board here changed recently. I have a large monitor but I think they are standard for all PCs now. All of a sudden the bar at the bottom of the screen, whereby I can move each page here to read it all, disappears when I try to post. The last few days I had problems with the right hand side bar that moves page up and down.It seems other stuff at hadit pops up and over that side bar. Maybe it is because I increased the font here 2 weeks ago ? But I just tried to check that and I cannot move the page on my monitor to find any tools bars. I guess it is just me and this new PC......I could hardly an…

I need to learn that Dragon dictation program since I am having much trouble with my hands and typing. Is there a tutorial or some easy way to learn it. I have the program but it seems daunting to me. I just associate computers, work with my hands and the whole bit with pain and frustration. I taught myself how to touch type years ago, but now I can't even answer a post here without pain. John
