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.

Question
les
Hi everyone, Like many other Vets on here when there is movement it's like hitting the lottery. Anyway I filed 3 claims at the Philadelphia va. on May 10 12. One for increase for limited motion of left shoulder already receiving 20% 2 years ago. ED new and Cervical spine claim related to my shouder condition new. I had 3 C&Ps on June 4 12. I was at preparation for decision since around july 15 12. And today it moved to pending decision approval. I know that was pretty fast. I had a very good c&p doc that took his time and wrote up great opinion in my c&p papers. All 3 claims he wrote up: it is at least as likely as not (50 percent or greater probability). I know that is a winning phrase. My question: is Philadelphia ro slow or how long has anybody out of the Phila office waited from this point to reach the completed phase? Just asking for your experiance. Thanks to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
