    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?”
     
    Note:
     
    • Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. This process does not take long.
    • 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.

    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

Subject: FW: Support HR 2254 the Agent Orange Equity Act

All,

Please take the time to email your Congress people to get HR 2254 out of committee, supported by your Congress people and passed by emailing your elected officials or using the link:

http://capwiz.com/usdr/utr/2/?a=13301656&a...86119383&c=

Just change the zip code and address to your name and address..

This bill specifically lists Johnston Island as a source for Agent Orange exposure, which is where my rare Soft Tissue Sarcoma (Liposarcoma) cancer source came from. VA right now doesn't recognize Johnston Island as a source for exposure and has denighed many Vet's their due disability!!

It also includes the Navy folks who have been turned down by VA too.

Thanks a Million in helping to right this injustice!!

Paul...

Please help!!

I just took action on this USDR Action Alert and thought you might want to do the same.

It specifically lists Agent Orange exposure on Johnston Island and Blue Water Navy off the coast of Viet Nam, and must be pushed through please.
