2008 And Hadit.com

2008

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

We are now going into our 11th year, hard to believe but here we are!

Some Statistics from 2007 I think you might find interesting are attached to this post as a pdf.

I usually like to have a new look on the main site (http://www.hadit.com) each new year. However, the past few months have presented me with some challenges I was unable to overcome to work on the site.

So I will work on the site, however it will be sometime this year rather than the beginning of the year.

I have plans for more demonstration movies, perhaps some podcasts, more content, better navigation and so on.

Thank you Brothers and Sisters for hanging in there with me.

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

T-Bird, thank you for devoting your time to this very necessary forum. Without a doubt, I believe we owe it to others that come before us, to those here today and those to come here tommorow to continue this support. I am thankful you and we are here trying to sort out whats due for veterans and their families. One veteran at a time, who in turn can help another; what a concept!

Happy 2008! Truly, thanks to Godsent Hadit forum and this caring family of veterans, I still have my family and home! I am forever grateful and often speechless, cg

Thank you Tbird.... for a good place for us to express our VA concerns. WE NEED THIS.

Many Vets.... rely on their uncooperative and unconcerned VSO. That hurts the Vet that deserves compensation for his/her service-connected disability. Hadit.com gives us a place to provide info to Vets and sort things-out as needed.

Thanks. :D

Hopefully, Hadit.com will regain its place as a leader in Veteran's Concerns...... but.... Tbird, thats up to YOU. Be our leader.... not a commercial advertisement. Make GOOD and ethical decisions. Nothing LESS is ethical or acceptable to our deserving Vets.

now let's see what you (1968 Nam Vet) said was

"Hopefully, Hadit.com will regain its place as a leader in Veteran's Concerns...... but.... Tbird, thats up to YOU. Be our leader.... not a commercial advertisement. Make GOOD and ethical decisions. Nothing LESS is ethical or acceptable to our deserving Vets." 1968 Nam Vet

____________________________________________________________________

you know here's the thing, this sounds just like someone who was banned from this board. not because of stuff he/she said about me like what is above, but what is above was often bantered about on this board and others.

so let me just get this out here right now.

1968 Nam Vet I find hardly any of your posts helpful.

They drag into long discussions you want to have about this point or that. you rarely cite a source with a link so that we can see it.

Frankly what i am saying is 1968 Nam Vet is I'm tired of your posts and your leaving and your coming back and your IP changing and so and so forth,

So I know you have read all the forum rules and i know I have told you in the past not to post something just to debate and you always deny that you did any such thing and round and round we go.

then a certain number of people “who do not see the big picture” might think I am be very cold towards you.

Moderators especially will know the bigger picture as well as some members who haven’t been around for awhile.

So please folks this is between me and 1968 Nam Vet. Let’s keep it that way.

I’ve changed your ranking to Group A Group A is a group that has no rank and no promotion, people can choose to read your stuff or not. So posting multiple times will have no affect on your rank.

Furthermore if you want to turn this into a spitting contest i highly discourage it.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
