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?
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?”

Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
Most Common VA Disabilities Claimed for Compensation:
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
My husband was hospitalized for 50+ days transferred from one hospital to the next for a LOD injury percussion or blast from month long artillary war games, which resulted in a delayed diagnosis which resulted in his right testes to become necrotic and reported on the pathology report as" extensive hemmorage and coagulation necrosis and a slit in the tunica albuginea" the final diagnosis was Infarcted right testicle. The 2 other diagnosis was "Epididymitis (nonveneral) and Torsion"
They removed the right testes ( Orchiectomy, unilateral) but did surgery on the left testes (Orchiopexy) which is usally done for testicle Torsion, I suspect they allowed him his right testicle to rot and 35 days of wait and see atitude which = incompetence,negligence or torture is how I see this type of treatment and my RN background.
Question original claim filed prior to discharge 21-526 e.
1. Are these claims handled differently today/
2. He was rated in 68 10% with 30% ( no pay) since recently of 2012
3. His original claim where the Togus Veterens Adm stamped has the date and a " NP" what does NP abbreviation mean I know it is not nurse practioner, but it is diffucult to find info on old claims from 68
4.He had one testicle removed and the other operated on and what should his original rating should of been? I was thinking 30% but with both affected would it still be 30?
5. I noticed on alot of his papers it is marked 00 under anatomical loss isn't that incorrect?
6.We have been married 32 yrs and 2 kids and never got any extra in all these years for dependents.
7. We are moving to Ocala area FL and I need to find a lawyer or a real good VA rep as I am the person doing all the research, writing letters etc as my husband can not cope with VA , As I need to file maybe a CUE claim or other claim due to the blatent mistakes of basically the claim from the beginning as I dig I find errors so argreacous. Why I need to find someone that I can trust to look and act on these mistakes and take action I can help as much as able but I have been quite ill for a year or more.
Any info would be so appreciated, I feel I am fight a blind deaf goelith..What a mess..
