Should I really tell the doc how I think and feel about Nam combat and what happened. I don`t want to be commited. Should I tell him on the first visit I am filing an NOD and need a letter about unemploability or when should I ask him for it. I want to set up a treatment schedule and don`t want him to think I only want a letter from him.

Yes, I would tell him exactly how you feel about Nam combat. Tell him every thing you saw, felt and did in the Nam. This is how you win claims not by holding back. Unless you are a severe suicide risk you are not going to be locked up. The docs have to really believe you are a danger to yourself or others to commit you. Tell him how those experiences affect you now. That is the big deal. How do the things you experienced in Nam affect you today. This is really what will win your claim for you.

    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 – 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.

    exclamation-mark-orange-gold.jpg How To Post

    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."

    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    Note:

    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.
