    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?”

    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

Congrats and I am glad that the Doc saw what he needed.

Hopefully this can be resolved in a few weeks. I will keep my fingers crossed.

With verified stressor or CIB,PH, CAR on his DD 214 -this certainly sounds good-

But I agree with Carlie- to get a copy of the C & P exam results.

The RO could certainly make the decision with this favorable C & P.

My award was made in April and I am still waiting for my money.Hope this goes faster for you then that.

Berta,

Me too hope it goes quick-the lawyers said they wanted to push it thru back to the RO asap since its been 11 years and counting...if I read the remand correctly I believe the diagnosis from the VA doc was what they wanted, because there was a differnce of opinion between the 08 IMO and the 07 CPexam on factor C-he did meet more than 5 of the DSMIV critieria then-which the lawyer stated in his addendum as a rebuttal to the DRO hearing ---and the stressors have been verified according to the 08 SSOC I know to read alot of these, but if you remember they said he was diagnosed with PTSD back in 05'but they failed to verify stressor then-then when they did -they said he had "various psych. diagnoses"after his 07 CP-but yet as you know his SS is for PTSD-and

has been since 03'---say a prayer for us!!!!!!!! Thanks Mrsvet

We are 11 years and counting ...4 months is a cakewalk!! :P ...and they took it on pro bono but I still believe alot of the pro bono falls under the Equal Op To Justice Act for them so they bill the gov't anyway................ B)

Considering the C&Ps I've been through, I cannot begin to express the gratitude and joy I have for you both.

May the decision making and payout come quickly and as smoothly.

Again, congrats.

Axis4 history of combat trauma, multiple chronic health problems

Axis 5 GLOBAL ASSESMENT OF FUNCTIONING

SCORE 50 TIME FRAME: current functioning

comments: Veteran presents with serious/severe symptons, and very significant impairment of his emotional.occupational and social functioning.

then in the medical opinion it states: PTSD due to or result of combat related trauma.
