    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. 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.
       
    2. 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.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, 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.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

  • Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Yes, did you already have IU? If you got 70% and are not able to work then you should have IU. Maybe it is your effective date that is screwed up.

Are you speaking to the new Call Number?

I always get someone in South Carolina.

I have found out they don't always know what they are talking about.

One lady told me that my husbands retro check for the 11 years had

was coming from Texas and a letter mailed to me.

Not wanting to have too many things going at the same time.

I turned in the TDIU Form.

Well found out she was wrong and his dependent claim is still

in development at the R. O.

If you have getting the call number, you can ask to speak

to a Supervisor and see if she is correct.

Yes, do ask for the current percentage. Also if the person on the phone can tell you the date of that decision, even better. I've had the call center tell me 'what stage' my claim was at and that helped.

Best to ya,
