Greetings to all, For some time, I have sat in the background and monitored selected issues. Well now, I have an issue and am looking for some input based on experience (actually or case), knowledge, and just overall feedback. Current rating is 80%, with the majority being PTSD. Out of the service since the end of 2004. Most recently, diagnosed with sleep apnea six months ago (not overweight), in relatively decent shape. Two weeks ago diagnosed with a Bankhart Lesion (Hills-Sach), right shoulder - Primary Diagnostic Code: MAJOR ABNORMALITY. Regarding the sleep apnea, I know it can you connect to PTSD as secondary. From what I read, you just need a doctor…

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

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.
