A Powerful Tool For Hadit Veterans

Rate this question


Capt.

Question

Hello All,

I have been giving out the Hadit Business cards that are printable from this site. It is one of the most powerful tools we can use. Lets face it the Veterans Service Organizations are not cutting it. With most of us , including myself thouroghly discusted with the way the Veterans Claims are messed up from these groups. Not picking on all as there are some good VSOs but they cannot keep up and the information is normally incorrect. Sooooooooooo most of us who did find out about Hadit , found out early there was nothing like it and our claims all of a sudden started to get thru and with a alot of awards. This is due to the amount of information , knowledge and experience that our great membership has supplied and the wonderful archives here.

I have been buying the cardboard paper at Office Depot and printing the cards myself. Ok ,,,so my scissors are not the smoothest in the world and the cards are a little off. Jbasser recommends a paper cutter and that will probably be the way to go.

Once you get the cards printed you can cut them and then they are ready to hand out. I use them at Wounded Warrior Events and whenever I run into another Vet , USO and Navy League functions. Our car club functions which also is made up of Veterans. Its easy to get a conversation going about the VA and I have not met one person who was very happy with the claims process.

So,,,, below you will find the link from Hadit that I have saved and use to print my cards to hand out to get as many Veterans to Hadit as possible. Try it,,,,you will see how easy it is. Oh yes ..... I also tell every Veteran to NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

One thing I was thinking that Tbird could do would be to order cards and then sell them to us at a reasonable markup so she could make a little money for the website. I agree the Hadit card is the real Gold Card.

Thanks for the reminder, Capt.

I'd seen this before I had a printer (which I rarely use) so all I have to do is get a lil card stock or cardboard and print some out.

Much better than a scribbled link on scrap paper! biggrin.png

p.s. They look great but an ordinary vet looking at them might not know there is assistance here for claims etc.

Is there a way they can be modified to say "Get benefits questions answered, assistance with claims & benefits" or similar?

I run into Vet's all the time and tell them about the site, but I know they are just like me and forget what site that was!

I think i still have the old plank cards for my printer.

Good job Capt.

I will see about redoing them to add that, thanks that is a great tip!

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
