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.

I have been having problems for about a week or more-with the hadit site --- a pop up says I can wait for the reload or exit the page- it only happens on this site . About 2 months ago I had a full PC run down by my satellite provider to check and see if my PC could handle Gen 5 and all systems were go. I also have a lot of security and no problems there. Instead of going to hadit via Google, I just tried a different way through my Microsoft browser- and so far I didn't get any pop ups that told me to wait or exit the page. So far so good but cannot understand why the sudden problem. It happened prior to the major internet outage on Sunday.That …

I've lurked here about four months and finally posted something yesterday. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the advertisements all over the page and was wondering if there was a way to not have so many? Is there a membership or anything available or a sponsorship opportunity where you don't have as many ads come up on every page? It makes the pages difficult to read. Thank you. JW in MN

Hi everyone. I was looking over my account today and noticed a number of -My Attachments- files. I can't figure out how to delete them? Years ago I added some photos of myself and wife that I would like to remove if possible? Thanks in advance

When I just now registered/signed in using Facebook my real name was shown on my first post. How do I correct this. Also when I attempted to sign in using Google I was informed my email address was already in use so I am at a loss what to do. I may have registered with Hadit a long time ago and then forgot. I would like to delete the account/s and start a fresh registration without using Facebook or Google. Tell how please. William Perkins

Yes you have a section for the various VARO's and one's experience in theirs. I am in the Saint Petersburg VARO and would love to post, but have no place to start a new thread or add a message. Am I missing something?

I tried to connect my social media accounts--Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn--but for each of them I received an error message, like this: You need to pass the "client_id" parameter Missing required parameter: client_id Is there something I need to do on my end that I'm too dense to figure out? 🤖 Thanks! P.S. Teresa - Thank you for regularly publishing your newsletter. I haven't worked the past two years while I received medical treatment, and I wasn't keeping up with veterans disability news as much as in the past. But as my recovery progressed (all better now thank goodness!), I started to get back up to date and your newsletters (which I did re…

Defense Bill Passage and Bladder Cancer
rebabevets posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
I already get compensation for bladder cancer for Camp Lejeune Water issue, now that it is added to Agent Orange does it mean that the VA should pay me the difference between Camp Lejeune and 1992 when I retired from the Marine Corps or do I have to re-apply for it for Agent Orange, or will the VA look at at current cases already receiving bladder cancer compensation. I’m considered 100% Disabled Permanently-

5,10, 20 Rule
Ddsr posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
The 5, 10, 20 year rules...
Five Year Rule) If you have had the same rating for five or more years, the VA cannot reduce your rating unless your condition has improved on a sustained basis. All the medical evidence, not just the reexamination report, must support the conclusion that your improvement is more than temporary.
Ten Year Rule) The 10 year rule is after 10 years, the service connection is protected from being dropped.
Twenty Year Rule) If your disability has been continuously rated at or above a certain rating level for 20 or more years, the VA cannot reduce your rating unless it finds the rating was based on fraud. This is a very high standard and it's unlikely the rating would get reduced.
If you are 100% for 20 years (Either 100% schedular or 100% TDIU - Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability or IU), you are automatically Permanent & Total (P&T). And, that after 20 years the total disability (100% or IU) is protected from reduction for the remainder of the person's life. "M-21-1-IX.ii.2.1.j. When a P&T Disability Exists"
At 55, P&T (Permanent & Total) or a few other reasons the VBA will not initiate a review. Here is the graphic below for that. However if the Veteran files a new compensation claim or files for an increase, then it is YOU that initiated to possible review.
NOTE: Until a percentage is in place for 10 years, the service connection can be removed. After that, the service connection is protected.
------
Example for 2020 using the same disability rating
1998 - Initially Service Connected @ 10%
RESULT: Service Connection Protected in 2008
RESULT: 10% Protected from reduction in 2018 (20 years)
2020 - Service Connection Increased @ 30%
RESULT: 30% is Protected from reduction in 2040 (20 years)-

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,
