    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

In the past we have tried to seek info to debunk information that was out there used to scare us and freak us out. I was not trying to be political or espouse any belief system. I was merely trying to see if anyone could figure this out to calm my nerves also. Anybody that has been on this site more than a day should know that I am not a person with malice towards my fellow vets. This was posted on a site hosted by the wife of an active duty MSG buddy of mine whom has more than 3 combat tours and at least 200 combat missions under belt.

I read this site for years before I joined and I thought we sought the truth in such matters.

Mike:

It was closed cause it could be very upsetting to many Veterans here. It can still be read. The source of this was unsubstantiated post to a Bulletin Board although under the auspices of a Catholic Magazine. Several Members complained about it.

Posts like this are political and religious both reasons on Hadit not to allow the Post.

If you want run it down and show a link to the so called VA Pamphlet and a good bio of the author. If you take the time to dig you will see that it has a political agenda to try and cause problems for the current administration who is trying to get healtcare insurance for over 50 Million uninsured Americans.

Pete,

It was not meant that way and was more like a question about is this something the VA is doing. No one ever suggests that when the VA gives us HIV/HEP free with our colonoscopy, or shreds our documents that it is a political statement. My experience with the government has never been one of trust as we have to constantly remind them of the case law that pertains to them. I am not catholic, nor a conservative, but I like to question information that comes my way. The level of paranoia and anxiety I live with on a daily basis helps keep me on guard regardless of the amount of medication the doctors prescribe.

Yours truly

Mike

I remember Purple, that was the post about "VA SPECIAL FORCE BUSTING DOWN DOORS OF PTSD VETS AND TAKING THEM STRAIGHT TO THE BIG HOUSE." Yep, I remember it. It was scary and UNTRUE and was deleted much too late.

I think that is why we need some sort of parking board for rumors, kind of like a snopes for vets.

Please do not harp on what Posts need to be closed. The Moderators have their hands full as it is. We really would prefer not to close any post as long as the rules are followed.

Besides closing posts that may contain information that is valuable to Members a Mod can suspend an account or make a post or thread invisible. We already spend a lot of time oking posts for new members

So in the future if a Member tells me on a thread to close a post they will probably be suspended for a couple of weeks. Anyone who finds a post objectionable or against rules can use the report function and someone will look at it.

One last thing we are getting a lot of posts with hypothetical questions. Please try and limit your questions to your claim and or someone you are helping.

This is intended to be a warning to all Hadit Members and a reminder that perhaps it would be a good idea for all to refresh themselves on the conditions of Membership.

I notice my post was deleted, and I understand why

I totally disagree with the policy but believe this web site heart is in the correct place.

Are political view should not become a issue here.

One of my problems if my belief that they are doing the right thing

My adult mind was molding in RVN 1967-1969, before I was old to vote.

To this day I don't think anybody understands what I am feeling
