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.

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

Question
les
I submitted three claims on May 10, 2012 to Phila Va. I had three c&ps on June 4, 2012 at Lebanon Va Med center. When I finally got on e-benifits around Aug 4, 2012 I was listed as preparation for decision, It sat there untill Sept. 19, 2012, that was a day or two ago. Wednesday morning e-bennys said my claims have gone to pending decision appoval. I thought hot dog man these claims of mine are on the space shuttle. Wednseday evening they went to preparation for notification and I thought wow this is awlsome. Now here is a kicker, this morning e-bennys tells me my claims went way back to review of evidence. Now that was bad for my deppresion and I know a lot of us have gone thru this. So I went to the horse track and won fifty bucks or so. I got home and got back on e-beifits and I was still at reveiw of evidence and it did not surprise me. I don't know why but I hit the letter box and downloaded to see if I changed from $435.00. And it sure did. It said gross benefit amount $1,201.00 net amout paid June 1, 2012. I didn't get any money yet but I went from 30% to 60% and a K rate. I'm sorry this is so long but I want people to know surprises can come at any time! Good luck all
