    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    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

There is a new bill in Congress, is call the H.R. 1818. It's The Disabled Veterans Commissary and Exchange Store Benefits Act.

It's purpose is: "To amend title 10, United States Code, to extend military commissary and exchange store privileges to veterans with a compensable service-connected disability and to their dependents."

We should ask our DAV, Purple Heart, etc., etc., to get more info about this...

In response to the 15% discount and 25 % discount; this is correct. I had not read this post but today my wife and

I went into a Verizon store to purchase cell phones. The salesman asked if I was a veteran and gave us the discounts.

Wings,

I was asked for proof that I was a veteran. I showed my VA ID I use at the VA hospital. I hope it works for you as well.

For those asking for the Verizon wireless discount:

If the clerk looks puzzled when you ask for this 15% off of your primary number account remember he/she is young and is probably not a veteran. The Verizon discount code is 11718 for those compelled to assist the young Verizon person in providing your discount.

Happy Motoring,

Cruiser

Thanks for the information. I got my account set up for it, just scanned in my VA id and sent the company and email. The information is on the web site. With the email address and all the information you need to include.

Good Luck

Glad I could help, guys. We are all here to help one another. I also understand that if you are getting any disability from the VA you can contact your home phone provider and ask about the "Lifeline" program. I got 25% off from Windstream. That is my local phone company who are not in the big cities (they specialize in rural phone service).

15% off of your basic service (not total bill) and 25% off of phones and accessories.

I am sure AT&T has one too, but you must ask for it, just like at Verizon.

Happy Motoring.

JC

I brought this back to life because most may not know that the 15% is off each and every month.

I Love a discount and my payments are lower than AT&T.
