Tips on posting on the forums.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:Post 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?

Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?
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

Question
VetsLady
Here's a question that is stirring around my brain .......
My husband is part of the AO Nehmer claim issues and yes, he does have heart disease.
VA sent him out for a QTC exam but we have not yet heard anything on this yet.
He was recently hospitalized while we were in another state on an emergency basis and we
found out via the EKG that was done in the ER that he had suffered a prior heart attack .....
the ER doctor called it a "Silent Ishemic Event"
Backing up a bit, VA re-opened his hypertension claim from long ago and we know it's going to
be denied as VA says there is no new evidence in the C-file and didn't list the hypertension as
part of his original appeal long ago. AND, they say ...... we have to PROVE the hypertension is
related to the DM2 that is a direct connection to the AO exposure and he is already sc for.
My question is ..... and, perhaps I already have it figured out (maybe) ....... the hypertension re-open is
dated August 2010, the AO IHD claim is May 2010. My thought is the hypertension is going to be denied
as the IHD preceeds it as far as a medical condition goes.
Am I making any sense or is it just a jumbled mess in my already jumbled brain ?
eeek !
