    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?”

I have gotten several of these. One was for copayments. When I got 100 percent, copayments no longer apply and I was refunded the ones that I paid.

There is auditing done at the Va and if they encounter an underpayment error, they send it to you.

My advice: Dont worry about it and spend the money.

Now if the VA deposits $16,000 dollars in your account you can start to consider the source. If the VA sent me such a check I would deposit it in a savings account and wait for them to ask for it.

Do deductibles also change when you're 100%?

Deductibles?

What "deductibles"?

Co-pays go away long before you reach 100% (unless, of course, in the very rare instance that you might have gotten 100% on your FIRST claim (YEAH, RIGHT!)).

When I travel to my regional VA hospital, I get travel pay minus $6 for what they call a deductible. When I ask what the deductible is for the cashier says I don't know I just hand out the money.

Maybe it takes 3 appointments a month for you to hit your required 18$ amount per month? How far do you travel to get to your VAMC?

I am 100% too but am still hit with the requirement of the 18$ (3 visits) bucks per month. Must be something in the rules/laws that say this?

I have asked before about mileage claims that I failed to submit and they tell me that there is a 30 day limit. If you do not submit before the 30 days is up you lose!

That is what I am saying too...but Larryj said deductibles, what deductibles...read his post below mine...he knows a lot more about regs than I do so that is what I was questioning too... I have always been told 3 appts a mth then no deductibles...read it somewhere in the regs too, however the va changes rules/regs to their advantage anyhow...

For God's sake people we are talking about $16, sixteen dollars, $16, sixteen dollars...

Thousands of vets are dying every day, VA turning down claims, vets homeless & we are discussing $16 for days or is it weeks?

Damn & now you have me taling about it...I'm over my rant.

How is everyone today?

It is $18.00 not $16.00 that one vet asked about...times it month after month, possibly yr after yr. This is not the only area focused by the vets who responded here, they also work diligently trying to help other vets with all areas of their claims too. Nothing is petty when a vet asks a legit question, and no one here tries to down play one's questions...it is in the eye of the reader.........

On the retro for mileage, I'm not sure about that one, but it would seem you could. If you are 50% or above you should put in a request for all co-payments made after the effective date of the 50%,

I believe you need to request a copy of your C file and after viewing the latest rating decision make a written request for the retroactive copays back to the effective date of that decision. If you have any disagreement with that rating decision you need to file an NOD with that rating decision first; otherwise, V.A. may construe your request for retroactive copays as your NOD for that decision.
